Scouts Badges and Awards

From your very first day at Squirrels to your last day at Explorers, being a Scout is all about trying new things and steadily growing strong.

Start with your membership badge and climb all the way up. You can work towards as many as you like, at your own pace. And by the time you move on to Scouts, you'll have a whole host of achievements under your belt.

Core Badges

World Membership Badge

When you make your promise, you'll be given your World Membership Badge. It features a picture of the fleur de lis an international symbol worn by Scouts all over the world.

Years Serves Awards

Joining In Awards are given to those who always roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. You can collect one for every year you're a Scout, starting from your very first day as a Beaver right up until your last meeting.

Leadership Stripes

Within their Troop, Scouts are part of a Patrol. A Patrol is a smaller group of Scouts, headed up by a Patrol Leader and an Assistant Patrol Leader. They're usually older Scouts who are chosen to take on leadership responsibilities, such as welcoming new people to the Troop or taking charge of a particular game or activity. Some Troops also have Senior Patrol Leaders who take on additional leadership opportunities.

They wear leadership stripes to celebrate their hard work and make sure everyone knows who they are.
