Boy

parents of each of these Webelos Scouts, I take great pride in presenting t=

he
left pocket, centered at the bottom to complete the diamond of cloth badges.
The Arrow of Light Award is worn centered on the flap of his left shirt poc=

Wear them proudly, Webelos Scouts, wear them well!
These certificates=

evidence of the honor you have received. (Presents
