Activity Badges
Activity Badges are optional, but they provide an opportunity to reward a young person who has taken part in an activity over a period of time. They should raise interest and extend a young person's skills throughout their time in Scouting. As of October 2006 many of the badges have been updated or modified in some way. To view the previous requirements, please follow the relevant links.
There are 12 badges available for Beaver Scouts, 35 for Cub Scouts, 70 for Scouts and 28 for Explorer Scouts.
The requirements for the Activity Badges provide a wide range of choice for Beaver Scouts. Most Beaver Scouts will be able to access the Badges of their choice. There will be a number of children with Special Needs who will need further flexibility to gain their Activity Badges. Adaptation may be required specific to the needs of the child concerned. The aim in each case should be to improve access to the Badge rather than to reduce the challenge of its requirements
Requirements for the following badges are listed in this section:
