Here’s the
adventure loops for the Tiger Rank. (Tigers are getting a new image also)
Notice the six adventure loops across the top of the rank badge—those are the
loops for the required adventures. And all those below are the electives.
All the adventure loops shown have orange bands of color
across the top and the bottom. That orange band indicates that they
are for Tiger Adventures. Only the six required adventures will get a
multicolored image on the loop. The images on the other thirteen elective
adventure loops are just orange.
All the
adventures for each rank and the specific requirements for each adventure loop
are already online for you to download, and/or print. Adventure Rank and Insignia. You
can also get a closer look at each image that will be on the adventure loops.
The same coloring system holds true for each rank.
Multicolored loops for required adventures and monochromatic (one color) loops
for elective adventures. Each rank has its own dedicated color. Here are
pictures of the Wolf and Bear adventure loops. You can see the band
colors match the background color of each rank badge. (Wolf and Bear ranks also
have 6 required adventures)
Once a boy joins
the Webelos den, he will now be awarded with adventure pins in place of
adventure loops upon completion of an adventure. The 5 Webelos required
adventure pins are diamond shaped, have a green border and multi colored
images. The 4 Arrow of Light required adventure pins are in the shape of
an arrow point, with a brown border and are also multi colored images.
The elective adventures get an oval shaped pin. The elective adventures
are shared between the two ranks so they all get the same shape and
monochromatic color scheme. There are currently 18 elective adventures.
(National has indicated that there may be more elective adventures added in the
future)
These new adventure pins will be worn on the Webelos colors
or on the front panel of the Webelos hat just like the Webelos activity badges
are worn currently.
So there you have it. Boys complete Adventures and are
awarded adventure loops or pins. This is going to be SO much simpler for
the parents, den leaders and of course for the pack advancement coordinator and Cubmaster
too.
Q – If these are the “Immediate Recognition” devices, when
will they be awarded to the boys?
A – From the Den Leader Guide Sampler available online- “Upon completion of
the ________ adventure, your ____ Scouts will have earned the adventure loop
shown here. Make sure they are recognized for their completion by presenting
the adventure loop, to be worn on their belt, as soon as possible according to
your pack’s tradition.” and “Upon completion of the _______ Adventure, your
Webelos Scouts will have earned the adventure pin shown here. Make sure they
are recognized for their completion by presenting the adventure pin, to be worn
on their Webelos colors or the front of their cap, as soon as possible
according to your pack’s tradition.”
So the answer seems to be – As soon as possible according to
your pack’s tradition. It’s your pack, your boys, your decision!
I plan to highlight parts of the changes each month in my
Cub Corner. This is going to be a fun new adventure for all of us. Let’s get on
board!
