Arrow Of Light Den (5th Grade)
The Arrow of Light Den is for boys that are currently in 5th grade (usually 10 or 11 years old).
Arrow of Light is the final 6 months of the Webelos program, ending in March, where they will bridge to a Scouts BSA Troop.
The 18 month Webelos/AOL program prepares them for boy scouts, and gives them the tools to jump right into new adventures with the BSA. After completing the Arrow of Light, scouts advance to a Scouts BSA Troop of their choice.
