Free Webelos Award Tracker Printable
If your Webelos Scout has completed an Adventure, the next step is making sure they actually receive the award for it.
That is what this Webelos Award Tracker is for.
This printable is not meant to track every requirement or plan out the whole Webelos year, our Scout Adventure Checklist is for that. This is a simple checklist to help parents and den leaders keep track of which Webelos Adventure pins and rank awards have already been received.
What Awards Do Webelos Scouts Receive?
The current Webelos program is built around Adventures.
When a Webelos Scout completes an Adventure, they receive the Adventure pin for that Adventure.
Webelos Scouts may also earn the Webelos badge of rank after completing the required Webelos Adventures and the needed elective Adventures.
So for this tracker, the main awards to keep track of are:
- Webelos Adventure pins
- the Webelos badge of rank
- any optional extra awards your pack chooses to track
This printable gives you a simple place to mark off which awards have already been received.
What Are The Webelos Cub Scout Pins?
Webelos Scouts receive Adventure pins for completed Adventures.
This is different from the younger Cub Scout ranks, which typically receive belt loops for completed Adventures.
Because Webelos may complete Adventures at den meetings, pack events, campouts, family activities, or summer events, it can be easy for awards to get missed or delayed.
A simple award tracker helps you see:
- which Adventure pins have been earned
- which pins have already been handed out
- which awards still need to be picked up or presented
- which awards may need to be checked in Scoutbook or with your advancement chair
Where Do Webelos Adventure Pins Go?
Webelos Adventure pins are worn on the Webelos colors or displayed in the way your pack recommends.
Some families also keep extra pins on a display board, memory board, shadow box, or keepsake card.
What Are The Webelos Badge Requirements?
The Webelos Rank is earned by fourth graders. For Webelos Scouts to earn their Rank Badge during the year they will have to complete the following requirements:
- Complete the 6 Required Core Adventures.
- Complete 2 of the Elective Adventures.
Once a Webelos Scout completes the current Webelos rank requirements, they can receive the Webelos badge.
Where Does The Webelos Rank Badge Go?
The Webelos Rank Badge is placed on the left pocket of the cub scout uniform as shown below. Badge is displayed on a tan shirt, however, Webelos may wear the blue or tan uniform.
Why Use an Award Tracker?
Even if you already track Adventure completion somewhere else, it can still help to have a separate award tracker.
Adventure completion and award presentation are not always the same thing.
A Scout may finish an Adventure one week, but the pin may not be handed out until the next pack meeting. If you are tracking several Scouts, multiple den levels, or a busy pack schedule, it is easy to forget what has already been awarded.
This printable is especially helpful for:
- den leaders
- parents
- advancement chairs
- pack committee members
- anyone organizing awards for pack meetings
How to Use the Webelos Award Tracker
Print the tracker and keep it with your den binder, parent folder, or advancement records.
As awards are handed out, check them off on the tracker.
You can use it to help answer simple questions like:
- Did my Webelos already receive this Adventure pin?
- Which pins still need to be awarded?
- Has the Webelos badge already been presented?
- Do I need to follow up with the den leader or advancement chair?
This is meant to be simple. It is not a full planning system. It is just an easy way to keep award handouts organized.
