WEBELOS Badge Requirements
As with all Cub Scout ranks, you must first earn the
Bobcat Badge to be eligible to work for this
award.
Also, your Webelos Den Leader will now sign off your activities (your
parent or guardian does not sign off the activities as they did when you
were a Wolf or Bear).
- Have an adult member of your family read the Webelos Scout Parent
Guide that comes with this book (pages 1-22) and sign here.
- Be an active member of your Webelos den for 3 months (Active
means having good attendance, paying den dues, working on den projects).
- Know and explain the meaning of the Webelos badge.
- Point out the three special parts of the Webelos Scout uniform. Tell
when to wear the uniform and when not to wear it.
- Earn the Fitness and
Citizen activity badges and one
other activity badge from a different
activity badge group .
- Plan and lead a flag ceremony in your den that includes the U.S.
flag.
- Show that you know and understand the requirements to be a Boy
Scout.
- Demonstrate the Scout salute, Scout sign, and Scout handshake.
Explain when you would use them.
- Explain the Scout
Oath, Scout Law,
Scout motto, and
Scout slogan
- Explain and agree to follow the
Outdoor Code.
- Faith
After completing the rest of requirement 8, do these (a, b, and c):
- Know: Tell what you have learned about faith.
- Commit: Tell how these faith experiences help you
live your duty to God. Name one faith practice that you will continue
to do in the future.
- Practice: After doing these requirements, tell what
you have learned about your beliefs.
And do one of these (d OR e):
- Earn the religious emblem of your faith*
- Do two of these:
- Attend the mosque, church, synagogue, temple, or other religious
organization of your choice, talk with your religious leader about
your beliefs. Tell your family and your Webelos den leader what you
learned.
- Discuss with your family and Webelos den leader how your
religious beliefs fit in with the
Scout Oath and
Scout Law, and what
character-building traits your religious beliefs have in common with
the Scout Oath and
Scout Law.
- With your religious leader, discuss and make a plan to do two
things you think will help you draw nearer to God. Do these things
for a month.
- For at least a month, pray or meditate reverently each day as
taught by your family, and by your church, temple, mosque,
synagogue, or religious group.
- Under the direction of your religious leader, do an act of
service for someone else. Talk about your service with your family
and Webelos den leader. Tell them how it made you feel.
- List at least two ways you believe you have lived according to
your religious beliefs.
* If you earned your faith's
religious emblem earlier in Cub Scouting, and your faith does not have a
Webelos religious emblem, you must complete requirement 8e.
Completion of requirement 8e does
not qualify a youth to receive the religious emblem of his faith.
Webelos Emblems are listed on pages
68-69.
A list of the
various religious emblems, and the levels in which they can be earned is
also listed on this site. Click here

After you've earned the Webelos badge, you can earn the
compass points emblem. It is awarded after you earn seven
activity badges, four more in addition to the
three you earned for the Webelos badge. Wear your compass points emblem
attached to the button on the right pocket of the Webelos uniform shirt.
After you earn the compass points emblem,
you'll receive a metal compass point for each four additional
activity badges you earn. Pin these compass
points on the emblem in the "E," "W," or "S" positions, in any order you
choose.
You can earn the emblem and all three compass points by completing 19
activity badges, including the three required for the Webelos Badge.
