All about badges

Our badges and awards are part of what makes us Scouts. And Scouts love earning them!

Animal lover – check. Book worm – check. Photographer – check. Footballer – check. Daredevil – check. You name it, we’ve got a badge for it – over 200 of them actually.

Scouts work together on badges at their weekly meetings, away at camps, on events or they can do them at home. There’s never any pressure to do badges, so Scouts can do as many or as few as they like. Badges are easy to earn and, for lots of them, you don’t need anyone special to sign them off.

For those up for a challenge, there are loads of exciting badges to aim for. We’ve got the Chief Scout’s AcornBronzeSilver, GoldPlatinum and Diamond Awards. These are the highest awards that Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers can earn.

And for those going even further, the King’s Scout Award is the top achievement for young people in Scouts.
