The Dragon Award was set up by Scouts Cymru (Scouting Wales) and recognises the importance of outdoor nights away experiences for our Young People. These experiences include camping, bivouacs, and expeditions in different, challenging and sometimes unusual environments throughout the year.
This Award encourages Scout Troops, Explorer Scout Units, Scout Network and their Leaders to camp more in unfamiliar places. This Award recognises the contribution camping makes to building successful teams and the effort young people and their leader teams make in achieving our top awards.
There are three Dragon awards - Bronze, Silver and Gold that each have different challenges built around achieving the top awards and having fun. For each award you must camp in every month of the year and this can be spread over several years. There is no time limit for each award. Awards must be claimed within 6 months of the final camp.
