Webelos Pins--Belt Loops required

[King Ding Dong 540]

We don't award the BL again. They redo the requirements as Webelos. I try to see if we can get the pin.

You are correct on the academic belt loops and pins the requirements diverge much more than on the sports ones. A belt loop can be earned in less than an hour, a pin will generally take several hours over many sessions to complete. If a boy has already earned a belt loop Ina given subject and would rather put in the extra effort to earn the pin instead of taking the easy route and earning the belt loop AGAIN, I say common sense takes over and he should be allowed to go that route. It's more work and more in depth and he will actually learn something. That's why we do scouts.

 

If someone feels differently and wants to stifle a boys ambition and make him only earn the belt loop AGAIN, that's their prerogative and they can certainly never be accused of not following the letter of the law.

If a Webelos scout earned the Citizenship BL & pin while a Bear, does he have to re-earn the pin as a Webelos for the Citizen activity badge?

Yes. He has to re-earn them as a Webelos.

He needs to re-earned the belt loop or the pin. Both are not required.
