Webelos
Communicator
Activity Badge

This article is about the Webelos Activity Pin
for the Belt Loop and Pin for Cub Scouts,
    see Cub Scout Communicating
for the Merit Badge for Boy Scouts, see Communications

The Webelos Communicator Activity Badge is one of 20 different Activity Badges that can be earned in the Webelos Scout Program. The requirements are typically worked on during den meetings or den activities while the skills are practiced at home, with the help of the Webelos Scout's family. The requirements are either completed with the den or at home with the den leader's approval. Projects are brought to meetings to share with the den and for Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor approval.
