What badges can I get?

There is a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Cub Scout Section.

Challenge awards

Gaining a challenge badge involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Pack 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.

Core badges

In addition, there are a number of special badges, obtained upon joining or moving on from the Pack, or for time spent in the Scouting movement.

Activity badges

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

Recognising achievement

You can also keep your young people motivated and recognise achievement with your own awards


Becoming a Scout

As the time approaches for the Cub Scout to progress into Scout, they will spend a few weeks with the Scout Troop where they will be assigned a partner to help in their transition.
