Webelos Scouts work on requirements during their weekly den
meetings. Once a boy learns a skill, he practices it at den meetings
and at home on his own. His family helps him at home. A Webelos
Scout bring the projects they do at home to the den meetings to show
others and to have the Webelos den leader approve his project.
When
a Webelos Scout has completed the requirements for an activity
badge, the Webelos den leader, rather than a parent, approves most
of the activity badges. It takes three activity badges, including
Fitness and Citizen, to earn the Webelos badge.
Besides earning
activity badges, Webelos Scouts can earn the compass points emblem.
This emblem is awarded after a Webelos Scout has earned seven
activity badges. For each four activity badges a Webelos Scout earns
after that, he receives a compass point—east, west, north, and
south.
