OK, bear with me on this one. You know how there's a step between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts called Webelos? As a former scout I know that the name signifies that you have completed your Wolf, Bear and Lion badges, hence, "WeBeLos".
When growing up in Boston, my wife had two older brothers and a father who were very involved in scouting. She just assumed Webelos meant you were (best read with an Irish accent) "just a wee below a Boy Scout".
