Webelos (4th Grade)

Children attending 4th grade are part of the Webelos (WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts) program. To complete the Webelos advancement, all required adventures must be completed, and two electives. Below, you will find a list of all possible adventures, both required and elective. While the Den Leader will select the adventures to be completed during the Den Meetings, parents are encouraged to complete any of the other adventures with their Scout! This way each Scout will get the full benefit of Scouting.

If you would like to follow along with the progress of your Cub Scout and their rank advancement, we keep all our records through Scoutbook. This is a great resource that will tell you what your Scout has completed and where they currently are in their rank progress! 

Path to Advancement

Fourth graders work toward the Webelos rank. The Webelos rank is earned by completing eight adventures as described below.

1. Complete each of the six required adventures:

2. In addition to the six required adventures, complete at least two elective adventures of your den’s or family’s choosing.


The Den leader will approve each requirement by signing the Scout’s handbook or completing the adventure through Scoutbook. Scouts receive an adventure pin on completing each adventure and, after meeting all requirements, will earn their Webelos Rank badge.
