Walkabout Award
10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 kms
Keeping track of your adventures and opportunities provides a record of what you have done. You can reflect back on the personal development during each expedition and the furthering of skills that has occurred.
The Walkabout Award Badge is earned for the total kilometres travelled under human power through a youth’s time in Scouting. The minimum distance to be counted toward the tally for Cub Scouts is 1km. Journeys taken in a canoe, kayak, skis or a bicycle are divided by 2 e.g. a 20 km bike hike earns 10 km to the Award.
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.)
This is an ongoing tally that progresses through all sections
When a new badge is earned, it replaces the previous badge

Special Interest Areas
Special Interest Areas
Why Special Interest Areas?
Special Interest Areas (SIAs) encourage Scouts from all Sections to try new things and pursue existing interests. Scouts set their own goals in one of the six SIAs, enabling them to design a project that interests and challenges them personally.
SIAs give young people ownership of their own development. Research tells us that this is important to learning success. SIAs build upon skills such as creativity, independence, and problem-solving. Special Interest Areas teach Scouts to set, plan towards, and achieve goals. SIAs projects are deliberately open-ended and designed to meet the individual needs of each Scout.
The SIAs provide scope for adaptability and future proofing of the Achievement Pathways. For example, when new and emerging technologies are developed, they can easily be pursued by Scouts without having to create new SIAs.

What does a Special Interest Area project look like?
They are broad, encouraging Scouts to pursue a diversity of interests and to ensure any activity a Scout could possibly think of can be included. Outcomes are always measured against an individual’s personal best. Scouts use Plan>Do>Review> to set and achieve their goals.
When proposing a SIA project, Scouts should take into account:
their personal interests.
new challenges they want to explore or things they want to learn.
the skills they have and skills they may need to develop to achieve their goal.
their existing level of knowledge.
their experience and that of those around them who may be able to help them with their goal.
if they think they might need a Subject Matter Expert to help them with their goal.
which SIA category their project best fits into (keeping in mind there is overlap between some of the SIAs).
To be awarded the Grey Wolf Award, Cub Scouts need to Complete 6 SIA projects, each taking at least 4 hours to do across at least 2 areas
