Webelo – Fourth Grade

webbanner_cubscout

A 10 year old or boy or girl in the fourth grade joins Cub Scouting as a Webelo.

Our Webelo Program

webelo_logo Webelo is a family-oriented program! A group of six to eight boys or girls meet together in a group called a den. Dens meet approximately twice per month. Webelo scouts have fun participating in den meetings and outings while making memories together.

In addition to den meetings, Webelo Scouts attend our monthly pack meetings and other exciting pack activities. Members of the whole family are welcome to participate in meetings and events!

Webelo Uniform

Webelo Scouts may choose to wear either the blue Webelo uniform based on the Cub Scout uniform or the tan/olive uniform similar to the one that older Scouts wear. They should wear it to all den meetings, pack meetings, and special pack activities.

For the tan/olive uniform, youth wear the official Scout olive trousers or shorts and official Scout tan long- or short-sleeved shirt with blue shoulder loops. Official blue socks (with gold tops) are worn with the blue uniform, and official olive socks (with red tops) are worn with the tan/olive uniform.

With either uniform, all Webelo Scouts should wear the Webelo neckerchief (plaid with the Webelo emblem), Webelo neckerchief slide (handmade slides are also acceptable), Webelo cap, and Webelo belt buckle.

Cub Scouts are provided with a Pack t-shirt as part of their membership. The Pack 142 t-shirt is to be worn during certain activities and outings.

Leadership

The success of a Webelo Scout den depends on active, enthusiastic families working alongside a knowledgeable, well-trained den leader. The Webelo Scout den leader plans and carries out a year-round program of activities for the Webelo Scout den and gives the program continuity. Using the concept of shared leadership, the Webelo Scout den leader works with a different youth–adult partner team each month to plan den meetings, a Go See It outing, and the den’s part in the pack meeting. (Some teams may serve more than one month, depending on den size.)

Shared leadership is a key element of the Webelo Scout program because direct adult involvement is important for boys at this age. Through this sharing of leadership, each youth and adult partner team is given an opportunity to lead. Shared leadership also brings a wealth of knowledge and variety to the program as each host team has something different to bring to the program.
