You may have heard that Scouts nationwide now have even more choice on what skills they want to perfect.
Badges have long been a really great way for our Scouts to learn something new and be recognised while doing it. From geocaching to fundraising, backwards cooking to disability awareness there are loads to try.
HQ are also recognising how long our Scouts spend in water activities and how many nights they spend away from home with new stages for those badges.
You can learn more on the Scout Association’s website or look at the list below. Imagine the new possibilities.
