The Arrow of Light is a distinguished achievement in the Cub Scouts, standing as a shining beacon of growth, adventure, and dedication. Symbolizing the transition from Cub Scouting to Boy Scouting, it embodies the values instilled in young scouts as they navigate their journey through this beloved program.

To earn the Arrow of Light, scouts embark on a series of exciting challenges that encourage them to develop essential skills, foster leadership qualities, and deepen their understanding of Scouting principles. These include a variety of activities—from mastering outdoor skills and participating in community service projects to exploring nature and engaging in team-building games—all while upholding the Scout Oath and Law.

Receiving the Arrow of Light is not just about completing requirements; it’s a rite of passage that showcases each scout’s commitment, perseverance, and readiness for the next chapter in their Scouting adventure. The award features a striking design, typically composed of a colorful enamel arrow pivoting around a central light or flame emblem, representing enlightenment, guidance, and the strength found in unity.

As Cub Scouts proudly wear the Arrow of Light insignia, they carry with them the lessons learned and friendships forged during their time in the pack. This emblem shines brightly against the backdrop of their uniforms, a testament to their hard work and achievements—a true celebration of the Scouting spirit!
