Webelos Badge
|
4th and 5th Grade boys are
Webelos Scouts. The Webelos program is focused on preparing boys for their
transition to Boy Scouts while still maintaining a Cub Scout approach. After
earning their Bobcat Badge (if they haven't already), Webelos first earn their
Webelos badge. |

Important Note on Webelos Badge(s) |
|
| |
 Note
that two Webelos badges are shown on this page. The first is a diamond-shaped
cloth badge that is gold and light blue embroidered on dark blue background with
gold trim. It is worn on the left pocket of the blue Cub Scout uniform in the 6
o'clock position, as shown in Insignia Guide. This diamond-shaped patch can
still be worn by Webelos that have earned it as part of the four-patch
'diamond.'
 The
other Webelos badge is an oval-shaped cloth badge, gold and light blue
embroidered on khaki background with khaki trim. It is worn centered on the left
pocket of the khaki Scout shirt, with no other rank patches.
