From Monday 16th November 2009, as part of The Scout Association's development of one fully integrated website for Members, the information contained on this page is no longer being maintained. For up to date information please visit the following link: Beaver Scouts: Joining In Badges

The Joining In Awards recognise a commitment to Scouting. They celebrate Beaver Scouts participating in a Balanced Programme over a period of time. These badges are not Section specific. They recognise the length of time a young person has been a Member of the Scout Movement, rather than as a member of any individual Section.

In the Colony, up to two Joining In Awards can be earned. They would normally be presented one year after the Beaver Scout has joined the Colony. The award acknowledges and celebrates an active involvement in a Balanced Programme. Some Colonies award a Joining In Award around the time of a Beaver Scout's birthday.

Only one Joining In Award can be worn at any one time.
