Webelos
Scientist
Activity Badge

The Webelos Scientist Activity Badge helps prepare Webelos for these Boy Scout Merit Badges:
Astronomy, Chemistry, Engineering, Space Exploration, and Weather.

Cub Scouts & Webelos can also earn the Astronomy, Science, and Weather Belt Loops and Pins.

The Webelos Scientist 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.

The Scientist Activity Badge will teach some of the basic laws of science and how to demonstrate them.
