The Badge is designed for those who follow a sport, rather than participate. While many Scouts might choose football or basketball, the requirements could encompass sports as diverse as archery, motor racing and water polo.
Demonstrate your interest in a sport that you follow by completing the requirements below:
-
Explain the rules governing the chosen sport.
-
Describe the levels of achievement within the chosen sport either locally, nationally or internationally.
-
Show knowledge of some of the personalities, champions or other experts within the sport and explain how they might have inspired you.
-
Talk about the equipment required for the sport.
-
Describe a recent major event, championship or landmark in the sport.
-
Explain how you follow the sport and how you keep up to date with developments.
Notes
-
Scouts may gain more than one Sports Enthusiast Badge.
-
If you need help designing alternatives to these requirements for those with special needs please contact the Special Needs Office at Gilwell Park.
