As you are working on your Webelo Rank, remember that
Troop 2806 can help your Den and Pack. Troop 2806 works very closely
with your troop to help make sure you find a good home in scouting. We
invite you to attend some of our meetings and go on some of our campouts to
determine if we have what you are looking for in a troop. The main
importance is not that you join Troop 2806, but that you find a troop you are
comfortable with so you can continue your trail to Eagle. While we hope
you will choose Troop 2806, we really want you to continue your scouting
adventure.
The Webelos Badge is for boys who have completed third
grade, or who are ten years old. The Webelos rank is the first step in a boy's
transition towards a Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements in the
Webelos Scout Book, he will work on Activity Badges. These are age-appropriate
projects for older Cub Scouts. Activity badges are sorted into five
discipline-related groups. They are the Community Group, the Mental Skills
Group, the Outdoor Group, the Physical Skills Group, and the Technology Group.
Activity Badges can be displayed on the front of the Webelos cap or on the
Webelos Colors. During this period, the Webelos Scout should also begin to
attend meetings led by adults, and become more familiar with the Boy Scout
requirements.
After earning the Webelos badge, the Webelos Scout may receive the Compass
Points emblem and gold 'devices' to pin on it as an incentive to complete
additional Activity Badges.
Completion of the Forester, Outdoorsman, and Naturalist
Activities Badges, and completion of a special conservation project allows a
Webelos Scout to join the Wolves and Bears in earning the World Conservation
Award as well.
