Cub Scouts to be Honored in Arrow of Light Award Ceremony

The United States Congress will be bestowing special recognition to 15 Webelos Scouts from Valley Village’s Cub Scout Pack 311 this Thursday, April 10th. They will be awarded the Webelos Arrow of Light award, the highest award in Cub Scouting, which allows them to bridge into a Boy Scout troop. It is the only Cub Scout badge that a boy can wear on his Boy Scout uniform.
