The suggested pattern for completion of the activity pins is as follows. Following this pattern enables a boy to receive his WEBELOS badge in February of his first year and the Arrow of Light in February of his second year.

One thing to note, In the LDS church, we only do Webelos for one year and then the boys become 11 year old scouts.  There is a schedule in the Webelos Leader book for use in LDS packs. CLICK HERE FOR THAT INFO  The boys are more than able to achieve all the activity badges needed for the Webelos badge and for the Arrow of Light in one year!

For a Pack Chartered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

A boy enters a Webelos den chartered by the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (LDS) when he turns 10 years old and remains in the
Webelos program until his 11th birthday, at which time he enters the patrol
for 11-year-old Scouts.

Using the Webelos Leader Guide, Webelos den leaders may plan den activities
for the year.  Often, two activity badges may be earned during one month.
Leaders may calculate the monthly themes as outlined in the suggested
schedule below.

Regardless of the month a boy enters the Webelos program, he can achieve
the requirements for the Webelos badge and the Arrow of Light Award during
the Webelos year.

*LDS Webelos Scouts are encouraged to earn the Family Member activity badge.

**LDS Webelos den follow the overnight camping guidelines found in the Church Scouting Handbook, No. 35824:  "No Scout-sponsored overnight camping should be planned for boys under age eleven."

Family camping experiences that include activities for Webelos requirements should be coordinated with the Webelos den leader and approved by local priesthood leadership.

As each boy enters the Webelos program:
*He should begin to work on the requirements to earn the Webelos badge immediately while also participating in weekly den activities.
Requirements are listed in the Webelos Handbook.  To earn the Webelos badge, an LDS Scout should earn the Faith in God emblem.  He is permitted to earn this award any time during his Cub Scout years, after he is 9 years old.

*The leader introduces the boy and his parents to the requirements for the Webelos badge and a one year plan that includes all of the necessary achievements for the boy to receive the Arrow of Light Award by the time he enters the patrol for 11-year-old Scouts.  With the help and encouragements of his leader and his family, he can complete the requirements listed in the Webelos Handbook.
