We like to wait until the boys have earned their Webelos badge before they pick a patrol patch. Many of the boys stay in the blue cub shirts until they earn their Webelos badge. In years past, the parents buy the tan shirts for them to wear to the pack meeting where they receive their badge. The boys then look like a separate "Patrol" from the rest of the Cubs. They get to pick their patrol name and patch and make their Patrol Flag at the first "den" meeting after they have received their badge. After they have their rank badge, they are free to work on whatever activity pins they want. The leaders try to encourage them to pick one that all of them are interested in and assign tasks for each boy that model the patrol method.
