Cub Scouts advancing to Boy Scouts were announced at the annual Blue and Gold dinner of Cub Scout Pack 358 at Open Range Grill in Sugar Grove Sunday, April 17.

Mark Layman, Webelos II den leader, announced Arrow of Light award winners, future Boy Scouts. They are Aurora residents Kenny Layman, Joey Cervantes, Gabriel Gallegos and Jacob Uribe.

They graduated from Pack 358 which meets at Hall Elementary School in Aurora.

The highest rank in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light Award. Earning this rank prepares a Webelos Scout to become a Boy Scout.

Webelos Scouts who earn the Arrow of Light also completed requirements for the Boy Scout "Scout" badge.

The Arrow of Light badge is one of the only Cub Scout badges that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform when a boy graduates into a troop. A boy does not have to earn the Arrow of Light or have been in Cub Scouts to join Boy Scouts.
