Weblos Scouts are for 4th and 5th grade boys. They are the senior Cub Scouts in a Pack. They and their adult leaders enjoy camping activities and are introduced to basic outdoor living skills. Weblos perform community service and work toward earning the highest award in Cub Scouting, "Arrow of Light". This program is designed as a transition from Cub Scouting to Boy Scouts program. Weblos dens meet once a month, attend monthly Pack activities, and go on lots of fun outdoor adventures.

To help new Cub Scouts' families understand Pack 452's framework, the Pack Committee has created a Parent Information material. This material was an effort to reduce confusions and conflicts. Cub Scouting is a family program,
and requires parents to volunteer. As with any family program, both the parents and the boys will benefit from Cub Scouting. In Cub Scouting jargon, parents and Adult Leaders are known as "Akela".

Our children grow up much too quickly. Let us enjoy our time with them while we have the opportunity, and let us help them grow as they go through the stages of Cub Scouting, from Tiger Cubs, to Wolf, to Bear, to Weblos, and earning the "Arrow of Light".

It takes a partnership of parents and Adult Leaders to help our boys attain these ranks. Take the time to help your child. For most achievements, it's as simple as reading to your child or listening to him read.
