Cub Scout Pack 46

The Webelos den will open a new world of adventure for your son: a way to learn new skills, to enjoy lots of outdoor activities, and most of all, to have fun! 

Your son will be joining the part of the Cub Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America that is for fourth and fifth grade boys.  Webelos Scouts are older than boys in the Tiger Cub, Wolf Cub Scout, and Bear Cub Scout levels of Cub Scouting.

If your son has completed third grade, or if he has not completed third grade but is 10 years old, he's the right age for this den. 

Most Webelos Scouts are in this program for about 18 months.  This is a transitional program that shifts the emphasis from the home-centered activities of Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts to group-centered activities.  This is preparation for his later participation in the great adventure of Boy Scouting.  After your son's Webelos Scout experience, at age 11 or when he has completed fifth grade or has earned the Arrow of Light Award, he'll be ready for more independence and adventure in a Boy Scout Troop.

The program will provide your son with a variety of new experiences that will help him assume responsibilities and gain maturity, knowledge, and skills.
