18 months” Webelos Handbook, page 4

Compass Points After the Webelos badge is earned then your

Scout can begin his journey on earning the Compass Points Emblem.

The Compass Point Emblem consists of three points. The compass points emblem is awarded after the

Scout has earned the Webelos badge and four additional activity badges for a total of 7.
