Arrow of Light
Pack 198 has two Arrow of Light dens - one for boys and one for girls. Our den leaders work together to plan fun and enriching activities for our Scouts to ensure they can earn their rank badge before the special bridging ceremony in December where Webelos (fifth grade) and Arrow of Light ranks will bridge to a Scouts BSA troop. Each fifth grade Webelo works together with their den leaders and other Webelos on adventures toward achieving this very special Arrow of Light rank.
The award is significant in the Scouting experience – so significant it is one of the only Cub Scout badges that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. There are Eagle Scouts out there still representing the Arrow of Light award alongside their Eagle Scout medals.
