Webelos I is the first year of a two-year transition program from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. The boy becomes a Webelos Scout upon graduation from the Bear program in the summer following third grade. He has the rest of the summer to get started on Webelos activities. Boys new to Cub Scouting can become Webelos if they have completed third grade and have earned the Bobcat badge. The Webelos I major milestone is earning the Webelos rank badge.

The Webelos Scout program, is filled with activities and outdoor fun. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than the things the younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts are still in Cub Scouting. They take part in Cub Scout pack meetings, events, and outings. But the Webelos den also makes its own plans and enjoys many activities that the younger Cub Scouts don't get to do.
Instead of working on achievements and electives as other boys in Cub Scouting do, Webelos Scouts work on activity badges and the Arrow of Light Award, which is a bridge to Boy Scouting.

The Webelos I Den is led by Aeron Lucas. Aeron can be reached at alucas@cowanbenefit.com or by calling (615) 347-9597
