Webelos Scouts work on requirements during their weekly den meetings. Once a boy learns a skill, he practices it at den meetings and at home on his own. His family can help him at home. Webelos Scouts bring the projects they do at home to the den and pack meetings to show others, and to have the Webelos den leader approve their projects.

When a boy has done the requirements for an activity badge, the Webelos den leader approves and records his accomplishments by reviewing his completed workbook. 

It takes three activity badges, including Fitness and Citizen, to earn the Webelos badge.

1. Have an adult member of your family read and sign the Parent Guide in the front of the Webelos Scout Book.
2. Be an active member of your Webelos den for 3 months.
3. Know and explain the meaning of the Webelos badge.
4. Point out and explain the three parts of the Webelos Scout uniform. Tell when to wear the uniform and when not to wear it.
5. Earn the Fitness and Citizen activity badges and one other activity badge from a different activity badge group.
6. Plan and lead a flag ceremony in your den that includes the U.S. flag.
7. Show that you know and understand the requirements to be a Boy Scout.
   • Demonstrate the Scout salute, Scout sign, and Scout handshake. Explain when you would use them.
   • Explain the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout motto, and Scout slogan.
   • Explain and agree to follow the Outdoor Code.
8. Faith
   Do all of these:
   • Know: Tell what you have learned about faith.
   • Commit: Tell how these faith experiences help you live your duty to God. Name one faith practice that you will continue to do in the future.
   • Practice: After doing these requirements, tell what you have learned about your beliefs.
     

1. Earn the religious emblem of your faith*
2. Do two of these: (Use the Webelos Badge Worksheet below to track activity)

• Attend the mosque, church, synagogue, temple, or other religious organization of your choice, talk with your religious leader about your beliefs. Tell your family and your Webelos den leader what you learned.
• Discuss with your family and Webelos den leader how your religious beliefs fit in with the Scout Oath and Scout Law, and what character-building traits your religious beliefs have in common with the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
• With your religious leader, discuss and make a plan to do two things you think will help you draw nearer to God. Do these things for a month.
• For at least a month, pray or meditate reverently each day as taught by your family, and by your church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or religious group.
• Under the direction of your religious leader, do an act of service for someone else. Talk about your service with your family and Webelos den leader. Tell them how it made you feel.
• List at least two ways you believe you have lived according to your religious beliefs.

* If you earned your faith's religious emblem earlier in Cub Scouting, and your faith does not have a Webelos religious emblem, you must complete requirement 8e. Completion of requirement 8e does not qualify a youth to receive the religious emblem of his faith.  Webelos Scout religious emblems are listed on pages 68-69 in the Webelos Handbook.

To earn the Webelos Scout Supernova award, you must be a Webelos Scout who is active with a den. With your parent’s and unit leader’s help, you must select a council-approved mentor who is a registered Scouter. You may NOT choose your parent or your unit leader (unless the mentor is working with more than one youth).

If you earned the Cub Scout Supernova award, you must repeat similar requirements while you are a Webelos Scout.

Although it is not a requirement, it is recommended that you earn at least two of the four Nova awards for Cub Scouts before earning the Dr. Charles H. Townes Supernova Award.
