Are Webelos Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts?
A. Webelos Scouting is the senior level program in Cub Scouting. It is meant to help transition the boys from Cub Scouting to Boy Scouting. Webelos are still under the direction of the Cubmaster. They are allowed to wear the khaki and olive colors of the Boy Scouts, but wear Cub Scout insignia on the uniform. Webelos Scouting has more outdoor activities than in the other parts of Cub Scouting but less than Boy Scouting. See the “Guide to Safe Scouting” and “Planning the Webelos Overnight Campout” in the Cub Scout Leader Book for a little information on what is part of the Webelos outdoor experience.
