Arrow of Light Router Template

Create a timeless keepsake for your Cub Scouts with professional accuracy.
This Arrow of Light Router Template is designed to help woodworkers, Scout leaders, parents, and makers craft a beautiful Arrow of Light plaque worthy of your scout’s achievement. With this reusable template, you can produce clean, consistent results—whether you’re making one award for your child or multiple plaques for the entire den.

Product Description

The Arrow of Light is the highest rank in Cub Scouting and represents the hard work, skills, and leadership a scout has developed before crossing over into Scouts BSA. This router template makes it easy to create a meaningful wooden Arrow of Light display that honors that journey while giving your scout something they’ll treasure for years.

Engineered for accuracy and ease of use, the template outlines both the arrow shaft and the distinctive fletching profile used in official Arrow of Light designs. Simply secure the template, trace the shape, and route the design into wood for a clean, professional finish.

Whether you’re creating a traditional wooden plaque, a wall-mounted award display, or a custom gift for a crossover ceremony, this tool ensures your Arrow of Light looks polished and ceremonial—just like the achievement it recognizes.

How to Use

1. Choose Your Wood
   Select your desired hardwood or softwood board—common choices include pine, oak, maple, or walnut.

2. Secure the Template
   Place the template on your board and firmly secure it using clamps or double-sided tape.

3. Trace & Route
   Use a trim router with a pattern bit to follow the template’s edge.
   The design includes the arrow shaft and fletching details.

4. Finish Your Project
   Sand smooth, add stain or paint, and apply your preferred finish.
   Many makers add engravings for the scout’s name, pack number, date, and badges.

This method allows anyone—from beginner woodworkers to experienced makers—to achieve professional results.

Why the Arrow of Light Matters

The Arrow of Light is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Scouts BSA uniform. It symbolizes perseverance, outdoor skills, leadership development, and a scout’s readiness to enter the next level of scouting. Receiving the Arrow of Light often marks a key moment in a young scout’s journey—a celebration shared by families, leaders, and fellow scouts.

Creating a handcrafted Arrow of Light plaque adds to that experience by giving the scout a physical reminder of their achievements and growth.
