The Challenge Badges complement the Balanced Programme. These have been developed to extend Beaver Scouts skills and experience. The Challenges are optional and continue throughout the Sections providing continuity from 6 to 25.

The following Challenges are available in the Beaver Scout Section.

• The Promise Challenge

• The Creative Challenge

• The Fitness Challenge

• The Friendship Challenge

• The Global Challenge

• The Outdoor Challenge

Each part of the Challenge should be part of the Balanced Programme for the whole Colony. They are not activities to be undertaken individually. Challenges should not require any special work, but should be a part of normal Colony activities.

The lists of activities are not complete or exhaustive. If you want to substitute another activity, look at the suggestions and choose something with the same element of challenge.

You can get further ideas from other Leaders, SCOUTING Magazine or from ScoutBase UK at www.scoutbase.org.uk

Yes, but the second time, they need to show more involvement, skill and further development. If they complete a second Challenge they can wear a second badge.
