The highest award in Cub Scouts is earned by Webelos that have been
active participants in their den and are ready to join a Boy Scout
troop. Many of the requirements for the Arrow of Light are intended to
familiarize the scout with a local troop and hopefully show him that
crossing over into a troop is the next step to take in scouting. A
scout that earns his Arrow of Light patch has also completed nearly all
the requirements to earn the Scout badge in the troop so he has already
begun his Boy Scout trail.
- 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), and earn the Webelos
badge.
- Show your knowledge of the requirements to become a Boy Scout by doing all of these:
- Repeat
from memory and explain in your own words the Scout Oath or Promise and
the 12 points of the Scout Law. Tell how you have practiced them in
your everyday life.
- Give and explain the Scout motto, slogan, sign, salute, and handshake.
- Understand the significance of the First Class Scout badge. Describe its parts and tell what each stands for.
- Tell how a Boy Scout uniform is different from a Webelos Scout uniform.
- Tie the joining knot (square knot)
See the Boy Scout Study Guide.
Use this handy Memorization Wheel to learn and review the Scout Oath, Law, Motto, Slogan, and Outdoor Code.
- Earn five more activity badges in addition to the three you already earned for the Webelos badge. These must include:
- Fitness (already earned for the Webelos badge)
- Citizen (already earned for the Webelos badge)
- Readyman
- Outdoorsman
- At least one from the Mental Skills Group
- At least one from the Technology Group
- Two more of your choice
- With your Webelos den, visit at least
- one Boy Scout troop meeting
- one Boy Scout-oriented outdoor activity.
(If you have already done this when you earned your Outdoorsman
activity badge, you may not use it to fulfill requirements for your
Arrow of Light Award.)
- Participate in a Webelos overnight campout or day hike.
(If you have already done this when you earned your Outdoorsman
activity badge, you may not use it to fulfill requirements for your
Arrow of Light Award requirements.)

all five of the above requirements, and after a talk with your Webelos
den leader, arrange to visit, with your parent or guardian, a meeting of
a Boy Scout troop you think you might like to join. Have a conference
with the Scoutmaster.

Say the Cub Scout Promise to your family. Discuss these questions with
them. What is a promise? What does it mean to keep your word? What does
it mean to be trustworthy? What does honesty mean?
- Commit:
Discuss these questions with your family. Why is a promise important?
Why is it important for people to trust you when you give your word?
When might it be difficult to be truthful? List examples.
- Practice:
Discuss with a family member why it is important to be trustworthy and
honest. How can you do your best to be honest even when it is difficult?
