Badges at Home

As well as earning badges at explorers, young people can also earn badges while enjoying their hobbies outsite of scouting, for example while participating in swimming lessons, while riding their bike with the family or while reading at home.

Find out the requirements of a badge which interests you by visiting the scouts website. Parents can take pictures as you go (or produce evidence of completing the tasks) and then upload it to our website here.

Parent Information

We've pulled together lots of information to help parents of all of our sections, covering everything from the equipment a young person will need at camp to how to support the group. Click here for more info.
