Arrow of Light (AOL)

What is an Arrow of Light?

Beginning in fall 2024, Arrow of Light will be for 5th grade Cub Scouts.  The Arrow of Light badge of rank is earned by completing the six required Adventures and any two elective Adventures of the 16 elective Arrow of Light Adventures.  5th grade Cub Scouts are referred to as Arrow of Light Scouts and are introduced to the BSA patrol method.  Arrow of Light Scouts wear the Scouts BSA uniform with blue shoulder loops on their epaulets. 

Arrow of Light Scouts will have the opportunity to visit with local Scouts BSA Troops at the beginning of the Cub Scout program year in preparation for their transition to Scouts BSA.  The Arrow of Light badge of rank and required Adventures are designed to prepare Arrow of Light Scouts to join Scouts BSA between January and March after the annual crossover ceremony.
