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: Scouts: Participation Awards

These badges are awarded to celebrate a young person's commitment to Scouting and for taking an active part in the Programme. If the young person has already been a Member, the badges will continue from the previous Sections. For those Scouts who have been a Beaver Scout or Cub Scout, you will need to liaise with their Leaders to check the date of the last award. The Participation Badges are numbered. You can award a Participation Badge every twelve months from the time the Scout joins your Troop, up to a maximum of four badges.
