    Participation Awards

    Participation Awards

    These badges are awarded to celebrate a young person's commitment to Scouting and for taking an active part in the programme.

    If the young person has already been a Member, the badges will continue from those earned in previous sections.

    For those Scouts who have been a Beaver Scout or Cub Scout, you will need to liaise with their leaders to check the date of the last award.

    The participation badges are numbered. Participation badges are awarded every twelve months. This is carried out at our Group's AGM each year.
