Arrow of Light (AOL) is 5th grade children to prepare to join a Scouts BSA troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in many adventures. A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'scout-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous Scouts BSA troop. This migration requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, abilities, and maturity.
During their last year in a Pack, Arrow of Lights get a larger say in which adventures their den will do, and in leading their fellow scouts, both skills that will come in handy in Scouts BSA.
At the end of their Cub-Scout endeavor the Arrow of Light should participate in a crossover ceremony wherein they leave the Cub Scout pack and become part of a Troop in Scouts BSA. Their friends and leaders from the cub scouts are not saying good bye but are encouraging them to continue on the path. They are presented to the Troop as loyal scouts and are welcomed by the Leader and youth of the Troop to continue on the path.

Wearing the Uniform
In general, every Cub Scout should wear their uniform to all Cub Scouting activities, including den and pack meetings, unit outings, and any activities done with members of the den or pack. There are two types of uniforms for scouts.
Class A Uniforms is the official cub scout uniforms, that is frequently worn in meetings and other Cub Scouting activities. When playing sports, going to camp, or participating in other physical activities, we have an activity shirt. These are referred to as Class B Uniforms. Class B shirts for youth and adults can be purchased as a pack.
Pack leaders will provide advance notice of any occasion when the youth should wear anything other than the complete uniform.
Here are some tips for wearing the uniform:
DO keep the uniform clean and in good repair. The official uniform is a sturdy, machine-washable garment that will last for years with proper care.
DO be sure to wear the complete uniform. A Cub Scout wearing a complete uniform gives him/her a sense of a unit.
DO NOT wear non-BSA badges, awards, or insignia on the Cub Scout uniform or make any alterations to the uniform or insignia.
DO NOT mix uniform parts with non-uniform clothing, such as wearing a uniform cap with other clothing. With the exception of the neckerchief, the uniform should be treated as a unit -- worn in its entirety or not at all.
YOU MAY wear the neckerchief alone with other clothing.
Any time you are uncertain about uniform regulations, ask the den leader for guidance.
