Building a Better World replaced the Citizenship Pin for Webelos a couple years ago. Each of you earned this pin last year as you worked toward the Arrow of Light Award. In order to achieve the Rank of Eagle Scout, you must earn the Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation and Citizenship in the World Merit Badges.
Citizenship in the Community is displayed when we honor those fallen at the 9/11 ceremony or when we retire flags, those are things we do for our community.
Citizenship in the Nation is displayed when we do things that help our nation as a whole. We discussed some of the questions on the citizenship test. Knowing how our government works helps you understand Citizenship in the Nation.
Citizenship in the World sounds confusing. We are American citizens, but no matter what nation we are from, we are in this world together. When traveling abroad, always represent yourself as a model scout. Learn about other countries and understand the customs of other places. Conserve energy and water. Recycle. These are the things that make you a citizen of the world
