Badges

There are a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Cub Scout Section. Click here for the position of badges on the uniform. Need help sewing on the badges? Here’s a video to help.

Challenge awards

Gaining a challenge badge involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Colony or community. There are several challenge badges across a number of themes, from the physical and outdoorsy to challenges dealing with the local community or issues connected with the Scouting world. See the Challenge Awards.

Activity badges

Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Beaver Scouts to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests. See the Activity Badges.

Staged Activity badges

These are similar to the Activity Badges but have different levels of achievement. These badges are carried through from Beavers to Explorers and show the progression in achievement level. See the Staged Activity Badges.
