The Webelos I program is for fourth grade boys (or boys who will be 10 years of age during the Scouting year) .

A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop.

As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.

Webelos Scouts don't do achievements and electives as Cub Scouts do; they work on 20 hobby and career subjects called activity badges.  These scouts also work toward earning their Arrow of Light Award, the highest award in Cub Scouting.
