A kit list with links to retailers will be issued to you.

The Group necker, initial badges and woggle will be supplied to you at cost for £10 payable through OSM prior to your child’s investiture into their Section.

Badges

If you are taking part in amazing activities, then you will want something to prove you have done them. Badges and awards are a huge part of Scouting, providing a framework of ideas for Leaders to follow and recognition to the young people for their achievements. The details of the badges for each section can be found using these links.

There’s never any pressure to do badges. You can do as many or as few as they like. But for those up for a challenge, there are loads of exciting badges to aim for, such as the Chief Scout's Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards – these are the highest awards that Beavers, Cubs and Scouts can earn. And for those going even further, the Queen’s Scout Award is the top achievement for young people in Scouts.
