Activity Badges

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

Staged Activity Badges

Staged Activity Badges are available to young people from Beavers to Explorers, and cover a range of topics and skills. The stages have increasing levels of difficulty, and a scout can begin at whichever stage offers them an appropriate level of challenge.

Core badges

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