Badges and Awards

There is a range of Badges & Awards available to young people in the Scout Section. Select the "badges" to obtain the latest requirements.

Activity badges

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

Challenge awards

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

Chief Scout's Gold Award

This badge is the highest award available in the Scout Section. Devon Scouts who gain this badge will be invited to a Presentation Day, usually in October. To find out more details of this day, navigate to the "Chief Scout's Gold Award Presentation Day" menu on the left, or click HERE

Core badges

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

Activity packs

Some activity badges are sponsored by outside companies, and these companies often provide extra exciting resource packs to help Scouts towards gaining their badges.
