Scout Badges
The first badge that a Scout has to earn is their Membership Badge, by knowing their Promise and Law.
There are 61 Activity Badges that a Scout can earn, which allow Scouts to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests. Activity badges can also be earned through non-Scouting activities, so if you think that you have achieved any badge requirements, talk to a Leader.
There are also 14 staged activity badges, which can be worked on during your entire time in Scouting, from Beaver all the way through to Explorers! These badges are:
- Air Activities
