Compass Points
After earning the Webelos badge, a Webelos may earn
the compass points emblem. It is awarded after the Webelos earns four more
activity badges in addition to the three he had earned for the Webelos badge.
This is a total of seven activity badges. The compass points emblem is worn
attached to the button on the right pocket of the Webelos uniform shirt.
After the compass points emblem is earned, the
Webelos Scout may earn a metal compass point for each four additional activity
badges he earns. There is a maximum number of 3 metal compass points that may be
earned. (This makes a total of 16 activity badges beyond the 3 required for the
Webelos badge to earn all parts of the compass points emblem and its 3 metal
compass points.)
Arrow of Light Award
This is the highest award that you can earn in the
Cub Scout program and it is one of only TWO awards that may be worn on your BOY
SCOUT uniform when you become a Boy Scout. (The only other item that may be
carried over to the Boy Scout uniform is the RELIGIOUS EMBLEM if you
received that as a Cub Scout or Webelos Scout.)

in your Webelos den for at least 6 months since completing the fourth grade (or
for at least six months since becoming 10 years old), and earn the
