The Webelo Trail (getting started)
To earn the rank of Arrow of Light, you scout will need a Arrow of Light Handbook to begin working on the Arrow of LightTrail. Below is an outline of the material covered in the handbook.
Note: Some of these activities are done at home and signed off by the parent after the scout has completed the task. The handbook should be shown to the Den Leader - who records and tracks his progress.
Note: There are no performance requirements for completing tasks. Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes completion.
Once an activity is completed, the scout will earn a belt loop
