Camper Award

PLEASE NOTE: The pictured 25 night, 50 night, 75 night and 100 night are the old badges

The Camper Award Badge depicts the total number of nights spent camping while on approved Scouting activities. (School camps and family holidays don’t count.) They may be worn above the pocket of the uniform below the World Badge.

The requirements for the badge can be started at the Joey Scout level and continue to be added through to the Rover Scout section.

Each youth member should commence and maintain their personal log which details the number of nights spent camping and distance covered in hiking/canoeing etc.

This is an ongoing tally that progresses through all sections. When you link to the next section, you just keep adding the nights to your Log. Your count can start from January 2015.

Approval for the badge is via the method of approval for other badges for the section e.g. Leader for Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts or Troop, Unit and Crew Council.

When a new badge is earned, it replaces the previous badge. Only one badge is to be worn at a time.

Once you have reached the highest number of nights (or kms) that there is a badge for, you keep wearing that badge.
