Webelos Scouts work for an extended period on the completion of requirements for each Activity Badge. For this reason it is very important that you take the time to properly recognize the completion of activity badge requirements.

There are many ways you can customize your recognition program when awarding the Activity Badge pins to Webelos Scouts. The ideas presented below may be used in den meetings to signify all requirements for a particular activity badge had been completed. If desired, and the Cubmaster is agreeable, you may adapt some of these ideas to customize the Webelos portion of the advancement ceremony used at your monthly pack meeting.
