Arrow of Light (AoL) is for 5th grade youth to prepare to join a Scouts BSA troop. A well-run group of AoLs is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'Scout-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous Scouts BSA troop.
Embedded Files
This migration requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, abilities, and maturity.
The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned in the 4th grade and the Arrow of Light to be earned in 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Scouts BSA troop selected individually by the Scout.
Scouts now earn pins as they complete requirements. These activity pins are placed on the colors. The three badge colors represent the three programs in the BSA: Cub Scouting (the yellow/gold), Boy/Varsity Scouting (the red) and "Senior Scouting" (used to be Exploring and now Venturing, the green).
Be active in your Webelos den for at least six months since completing the fourth grade or for at least six months since becoming 10 years old.
