From Monday 16th November 2009, as part of The Scout Association's development of one fully integrated website for Members, the information on this page is no longer being maintained.
Badges and Awards
Here you will find links to the new Badge requirements, we hope to bring you ideas related to some of these badges over the coming months.
Membership and Participation Awards
The Membership and Participation Awards signify that a Scout has made their promise and has participated in the programme for a period of time.
Requirements for these badges can be found in The Library.
- The Moving on Award (Cub Scout to Scout)
- The Scout Membership Award
- Participation Awards
- The Moving on Award (Scout to Explorer Scout)
Challenges
The Challenges complement the balanced programme. These have been developed to extend Scouts' skills and experience. The Challenges are optional and continue throughout the Sections providing continuity from 6 to 25.
Chief Scout's Gold Award
This badge is the highest award available in the Scout Section. It is gained by completing:
- The Promise Challenge
- The Community Challenge
- The Fitness Challenge
- The Creative Challenge
- The Global Challenge
- The Outdoor Challenge
and two of the following:
- The Outdoor Plus Challenge
- The Adventure Challenge
- The Expedition Challenge
If a Scout has not quite completed the requirements for the top award before they move on to the Explorer Scout Unit, they may complete it in their early weeks in the Explorer Scout Unit.
Activity Badges
There are 69 Activity badges specially designed for the Scout section, along with the six Staged badges.
Partnership Awards
Additionally there are three awards to be completed with other partners, either other sections or with an outside body.
