From Squirrels to Explorers, every young person can work towards badges and awards. Each section has its own Chief Scout’s Award, alongside other achievements such as the YouShape, Earth Tribe and Joining in Awards.
Chief Scout’s Acorn Award
This is the highest award a Squirrel Scout can earn. It shows that you’ve had adventures, helped your friends, and learned new things – it’s a big achievement, and you should be proud!
YouShape Award
At Scouts, young people learn how to speak up and take the lead. Our YouShape Awards have been supporting young people to do this in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Now, it’s time for our youngest section to join in the fun as well, with the Squirrels YouShape Award.
The Earth Tribe Award
One part of every Scout Promise is helping to look after our world and the environment. The Earth Tribe Award encourages young people to learn about nature, take positive action and discover how they can make a difference.
Chief Scout’s Bronze Award
This is the highest award a Beaver can earn, and it’s something you work on gradually throughout your whole time in the section. To get your hands on one, you’ll need complete all of the Challenge Awards, as well as any four Activity Badges of your choice (including Staged Activity Badges).
