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

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 Emblems are listed on pages
68-69.
A list of the various
religious emblems, and the levels in which they can be earned is also
listed on this site.

After you've earned the Webelos badge,
you can earn the compass points emblem. It is awarded after you earn seven
activity badges, four more in addition to the three you earned for the
Webelos badge. Wear your compass points emblem attached to the button on
the right pocket of the Webelos uniform shirt.
After you earn the compass points
emblem, you'll receive a metal compass point for each four additional
activity badges you earn. Pin these compass points on the emblem in
the "E," "W," or "S" positions, in any order you choose.
You can earn the emblem and all three
compass points by completing 19 activity badges, including the three
required for the Webelos Badge.
These are the requirements
as they appear
in the 2003 edition of the Webelos Handbook (33452).
