requirements listed under (b). Webelos Emblems are listed on
pages 434-435.
(Note: Some faiths have more than one emblem available to Cub Scouts and
Webelos Scouts. If you earned a lower level religious emblem of
your faith as a Tiger Cub, Wolf , or Bear Cub Scout, you CAN earn the
higher level emblem as a Webelos Scout to meet this requirement. A
list of the emblems, and the levels in which they can be earned is also
listed on this site. Click here to
see it.)
§ Completion of requirement (b) does not qualify a youth to
receive the religious emblem of his faith.
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. |
