(do you like my flaming arrow?)THE WAY OF THE ARROW
The Arrow of Light Award is the highest rank in Cub Scouting. A Webelos Scout should set his sights on it early. It's tougher to earn than the Webelos badge, but he can do it! The Cub Scout will have to earn the Webelos Badge and at least eight activity badges, including citizen, Readyman, and Fitness. The total must include one from each of the five activity groups.
By the time he has earned the Arrow of Light Award, he will have learned many things about a lot of subjects - and a lot about Boy Scouting. He will be ready to join a Boy Scout troop!

HE DID IT!
Props to the most awesome cub scout leader ever, Sister Gale. She had Chase as a Wolf and a Webelo. Without her, I don't know if I would have been "on the ball" enough to help Chase along.
Chase has had a fantastic year of scouting. I have seen him working to pass off requirements, keeping track of things, keeping records etc... He was so excited to be getting his Webelos badge and then his Arrow of Light.
Now he will get to move on to 11 year old scouts and be with his other friends again (they are a year ahead in the church world).
Here are some pictures from his ceremony. This was our second Arrow of Light ceremony to prepare for. They are so much fun. I think a good ceremony makes a huge impact. and hopefully lasting memories.

Congrats! Chase,
Good to see you set your sites on a high goal and acheive it. But, Grandma always knew you can do whatever you set your mind to. I'm very proud of you.
Love

Congratulations Chase. I love that you make a big deal with the celebration. Equal to the work Chase put in to earn it.
Wahoo Chase! And that's a patch you can even put on your BSA shirt. I'm glad you did it- I'm sure you had fun and learned a lot. EYOs are so fun- and you get to go camping!

How did you make the 'flaming arrow' stuck in the ground behind the campfire? That is really cool! My son and his den will be bridging next month and I would LOVE to do this!
Natalie it is an arrow cut from wood. I then tore a sheet into strips and soaked them in kerosene. I wrapped the strips around the wood tight so I could keep the shape. We drilled a whole in the bottom and it is held up with a metal curtain rod. Then we just lit it on fire.
