Scout Badges

Whilst we do our best to cover as many badges as we can during our meetings over the 2.5 years that you are in the Scouts section, there are plenty of badges to keep your ‘Scouts scouting’ and busy, by working on badges at home. (Thank you to 2nd Edgware Scouts for this extensive list)

STAGED BADGES

There are some “Staged Badges” that Scouts can earn themselves:

Air Activities, Community Impact, Digital Citizen, Digital Maker, Musician, Nautical Skills, Navigator, Paddle Sports, Sailing, Snowsports, Swimming (see extra information below) and Time on the Water.

Whilst we may include some of these in our programme we may only scratch the surface. These badges are individual to the person rather than to a Scout-led activity, this means that a young person can gain whichever badge is appropriate to the level they have reached. It is possible, for example, for a Beaver Scout who is an excellent swimmer to gain a higher level badge than a Scout who has just taken up the activity!
