As the highest award in Cub Scouts, the Arrow of Light is often mentioned by Scout parents and volunteers. So what is the Arrow of Light?
The award goes to Cub Scouts who have completed the Webelos rank and prepares them to become Boy Scouts.
In fact, Arrow of Light is its own rank, marking a milestone in a Cub Scout’s growth.
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.
