There are a wealth of badges and awards available to each section, many of which can be completed or signed off at home.
Follow the links below to see the requirements for every badge, and if you think you’ve done a part just speak to a Leader.
Challenge Awards
Challenge Awards are all about stepping outside your comfort zone. Try out something you wouldn’t normally be interested in. Take the lead on something that scares you. Along the way, you’ll unlock hidden talents and stand tall.
See Challenge Awards for Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Activity Badges
Become an expert in something you love, or try something shiny and new. From athletics and astronomy to photography and pioneering, there’s something for everyone.
See Activity Badges for Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Chief Scouts’s Awards
Earning every Challenge Award in a section, plus a few Activity Badges, earns the Chief Scout’s Award. These are the highest awards in each Section, and every Scout should aim to achieve it before moving on.
Badge Placement
When your Scout returns home with a pocket full of badges, this recognises their achievements in the section and it is important that this is shown off on their uniform.
