You don't need to, David....the acroynm was created when the Cub
Scouting program changed to drop the Lion rank and add the WEBELOS
Cub Scout program in 1967.

Your memory is good...when the program changed in 1967, the Lion
Badge was dropped and the previous WEBELOS Badge became the Arrow
of Light. Later, in 1986, the BSA brought back the WEBELOS Badge
as a rank, and created the present two-year WEBELOS Cub Scout
program.
The requirements for the Arrow of Light remain as much as they were
when you and I were Cub Scouts, David; but the WEBELOS acroynm was
updated to reflect the current status of the program, so that those
WEBELOS Cub Scouts would be loyal (and retentive!!) Boy Scouts.
