Arrow of Light Award

The highest award in Cub Scouts is earned by Webelos that have been active participants in their den and are ready to join a Boy Scout troop. Many of the requirements for the Arrow of Light are intended to familiarize the scout with Boy Scouting and show the next step to take in scouting.

Scouts earning the Arrow of Light patch have also completed nearly all Joining requirements for Boy Scouts so they have a head start on their Boy Scout trail.
The award patch is worn as a Webelos scout and as a Boy Scout - adults wear the square knot symbol.
Knot Description: Red on green knot on tan background with yellow border.
