Boy Scout Ranks




There are 7 ranks you will earn on your way to Eagle. So far, you are well prepared for Scout and Tenderfoot.

Once you achieve First Class, you may work as a Den Chief with Cub Scouts.

You can continue working toward merit even after Eagle by earning Eagle Palms.

Independent Studies

As a boy scout, you will be working more independently with a merit badge counselor than you have as a Webelos Scout working with our patrol. You will use a blue card to track your progress.

We are going to try using blue cards to track progress for a few possible extra adventure pins. To earn the activity pin you will have to fill out the blue card, one of your parents will act as the merit badge counselor and then I will sign as the scout leader. 

Below are the links to some Webelos Electives

Build My Own Hero
Engineer
Fix It
Project Family
Movie Maker
Aware and Care
Build It

Try to complete as much of the requirements as possible for credit.

Camper Adventure


The past two years have opened the doors to additional camping opportunities. As Webelos, we are permitted to camp as a group at the scout cabin. Here each of you have had the chance to select a tent site, set up a tent and sleep under the stars. Some of you have camped at Heritage Reservation and some have camped at the Scout Cabin. In all, as Webelos we have had the opportunity to camp in the spring, summer and fall. This year we are planning a winter weekender at the cabin.

Webelos Super Achiever

The Webelos Super Achiever patch has always been an unofficial award, but it has also been a very difficult award to earn. To be a Super Achiever, you must earn 20 Webelos Adventure Pins. If you have been to all the meetings you are probably close and may get there before we cross over. Count your pins and make sure we are not missing any. We will have a few pins that can be earned independent at home and we will be earning a few more together in the upcoming meetings.
