Beavers Awards & Badges

Activity and Staged badges

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

Staged Badges start off being earned at Beavers and as they progress through Cubs, Scouts and Explorers they do more and more activities to gain the next level.

Chief Scout Bronze Award, Challenge Badges and Core badges

Gaining a Challenge badge involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Colony or community. There are six Challenge badges to gain.

Upon completion of the six Challenge badges and four activity/staged badges, the Beaver will be presented with the highest Award that can be achieved in Beavers – the Chief Scout Bronze Award.

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