The Big Crossover

Our latest Webelos earned their Arrow of Light and crossed over to the Scouts BSA program, including our first two girls. We look forward to watching them grow as they transition from child to young adult in Troop 612 which meets in the same location as our Cub Scouts.

The Arrow of Light award goes to Cub Scouts who have completed the Webelos rank and prepares them to join Scouts BSA.  In fact, Arrow of Light is its own rank, marking a milestone in a Cub Scout’s growth. Check out this post on the order of Cub Scout ranks to learn more about how Cub Scouts advance in the program.

The award is significant in the Scouting experience – so significant it is one of the only Cub Scout badges that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. There are Eagle Scouts out there still representing the Arrow of Light award alongside their Eagle Scout medals.
