- Providing fun and exciting new things to do.

Earning The Arrow of Light Award
The Arrow of Light Award is the highest award a Cub Scout can earn. This award tells everyone that
you are ready to become a Boy Scout. It is also the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on a Boy Scout
uniform. The Arrow of Light Award displays the American Indian sign for the sun and, below it, an arrow. The seven rays of the sun
stand for each day of the week. They remind you to do your best every day as you follow the arrow that leads to Boy Scouting.
