Webelos
Citizen
Activity Badge

This article is about the Webelos Activity Pin
for the Belt Loop and Pin for Cub Scouts, see Citizenship
for the Merit Badges for Boy Scouts, see Citizenship in the Community,
    Citizenship in the Nation, and Citizenship in the World

The Webelos Citizen 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.

This Activity Badge is required for the Webelos badge.
