Congratulations, Webelos 2 Scouts!
Pack 722 is proud to present the Arrow of Light Award to seven of our Webelos Scouts. At an impressive ceremony during our April pack meeting, the boys will be presented with the highest award in Cub Scouting. Ceremonial arrows will be presented to them to commemorate their achievement: The colored bands honor their individual ranks and achievements. Orange is for Tiger, Black for Bobcat, Red for Wolf, Green for Bear, Silver and Gold for Arrow Points, Blue for Webelos, White is for the Webelos achievements; Tan for the Religious Emblem of their Faith; and the band of Yellow represents the Arrow of Light Award. The parts of the arrow itself hold special significance. The three feathers symbolize the family, the pack leadership and the scout. We have all worked together to help the scouts grow into fine young men. May they always fly straight and true to the mark. These feathers in turn are joined by the blue and gold crests of Cub Scouting. The blue crest stands for faith and loyalty, as deep and true as the vast expanse of the sky above us. May they always be faithful and loyal. The gold crest stands for warmth and good cheer, like the golden rays of the sun. May they always be of good cheer. The arrowhead represents courage and strength, like the stone from which it is crafted. May they always be courageous and strong. The shaft of the arrow, fashioned from the hardest wood, stands for honesty and fairness. May they always be truthful, and straight as the arrow. The lashing that holds the arrowhead to the shaft represents the friendship that has bound us together in scouting and will bind us together in memory. Alex joined Cub Scouts in 2003 as a Tiger Cub.
