complete
requirement 8e.
Completion of requirement 8e does not qualify a youth to receive
the
religious emblem of his faith.
Webelos Emblems are listed on pages 68-69.
A list of the various religious emblems,
and the levels
in which they can be earned is also listed on this site.

After you've earned the Webelos badge, you can earn the compass
points emblem.
It is awarded after you earn seven activity
badges,
four more in addition to the three you earned for the Webelos badge.
Wear your
compass points emblem attached to the button on the right pocket of the
Webelos
uniform shirt.
After you earn the compass points emblem, you'll receive a metal
compass point for each four additional activity
badges
you earn. Pin these compass points on the emblem in the "E," "W," or
"S" positions,
in any order you choose.
You can earn the emblem and all three compass points by completing
19 activity
badges, including the three required for the Webelos Badge.
