Webelos is for 4th graders, AOL is for 5th graders

The Webelos we knew before as 4th and 5th graders are now separate programs (as of June 1, 2024). 

Webelos is a stand-alone program for fourth graders.

AOL is a stand-alone program for fifth graders who will prepare to crossover to Scouts BSA in January or February.

This 40-minute video is very helpful in understanding all the changes.
