tell what each stands for.

Webelos badge)
- Citizen
- Readyman
- At least one from the Outdoor

- After you have completed all five of the above requirements, and after
a talk with your Webelos den leader, arrange to visit, with your parent
or guardian, a meeting of the Boy Scout troop you think you might like
to join. Have a conference with the Scoutmaster. This is one of the most
important requirements. You will talk with the Scoutmaster and turn in
an application to become a Boy Scout. (Note to parents: Paperwork to
join a troop may not actually be processed until boys receive the Arrow
of Light Award and are ready to become a member of the troop, but this
final step encourages him to continue in Scouting and enjoy the
program's benefits)
