Pack 170
Webelos den

Webelos 4th grade

Fourth graders spend a full year in their own single-grade program, sampling outdoor, STEM, and craft electives before Arrow of Light.

Required adventures

The six every Webelos works on.

One adventure for each part of the program: character and leadership, the outdoors, personal fitness, citizenship, safety, and family and reverence. The den works through them together across the school year.

  1. Bobcat Webelos adventure loop

    The adventure every Webelos starts with: the Scout Oath and Law, the sign, the salute, and the handshake.

  2. Stronger, Faster, Higher adventure loop
    Stronger, Faster, Higher

    Eating well, exercising, and resting, and how personal fitness balances all three.

  3. My Safety adventure loop
    My Safety

    The Protect Yourself Rules, plus ways to make a home and a meeting space safer.

  4. My Family adventure loop
    My Family

    Webelos look at their own faith and family and how to keep those practices going.

  5. My Community adventure loop
    My Community

    Voting, how the national government balances power, and a talk with a local elected official.

  6. Webelos Walkabout adventure loop
    Webelos Walkabout

    Webelos plan a two-mile walk, pack for it, and know what to do if something goes wrong.

Bobcat comes first every year. It covers the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Cub Scout sign and handshake, and how to be a good den member, at a level written for 4th grade.

Electives

Then two the den picks.

Webelos Scouts choose their last two adventures from the 17 electives below. Dens usually pick together, based on what the Scouts are curious about and what the season allows.

This den’s schedule

The Webelos den sets its own meeting day and time after the first pack meeting of the school year, so it is not listed here yet. Pack-wide dates are on the Calendar, and a den leader can tell you the rest.

Special elective adventures

Scouting America lists these on their own because they need a certified instructor and an approved range, so they happen at council and district events such as day camp rather than at a den meeting, and there is no adventure page for them. Ask a den leader whether one of these counts toward a Scout’s two electives.

  • Archery Webelos. Target archery, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and a proper range.
  • Slingshot. Slingshot target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.
  • BB Guns. BB gun target shooting, earned only at an approved event with a certified instructor and range.

Where the Webelos den meets

Pack meetings bring all six dens together roughly once a month on a Tuesday at 6:30 PM, at Highland Hills Baptist Church, 1370 Briarcliff Rd, Macon, GA 31211. Den meetings are scheduled by that den’s leader.
