religious leader about your beliefs. Tell your family and your
Webelos den leader what you learned.

religious beliefs fit in with the
Scout Oath and
Scout Law, and what character-building traits your
religious beliefs have in common with the
Scout Oath and
Scout Law.
- With your religious leader, discuss and make a plan to do
two things you think will help you draw nearer to God. Do
these things for a month.

service for someone else. Talk about your service with your
family and Webelos den leader. Tell them how it made you feel.
- List at least two ways you believe you have lived
according to your religious beliefs.
* If you earned your faith's
religious emblem earlier in Cub Scouting, and your faith does not
have a Webelos religious emblem, you must complete requirement 8e.
Completion of requirement 8e
does not qualify a youth to receive the religious emblem of his
faith.
Webelos Emblems are listed on
pages 68-69.
A list
of the various religious emblems, and the levels in which they can
be earned is also listed on this site.

After you've earned the Webelos badge, you can earn
the compass points emblem. It is awarded after you earn seven
activity badges, four more in addition to the three you earned
for the Webelos badge. Wear your compass points emblem attached to
the button on the right pocket of the Webelos uniform shirt.
After you earn the compass points emblem, you'll
receive a metal compass point for each four additional
activity badges you earn. Pin these compass points on the emblem
in the "E," "W," or "S" positions, in any order you choose.
You can earn the emblem and all three compass points by
completing 19 activity badges, including the three required for the
Webelos Badge. |
