Badges and Awards

Start with your membership badge and climb all the way up. You can work towards as many as you like, at your own pace. And by the time you move on to Beavers, you'll have a whole host of achievements under your belt. In Scouting, earning badges is a core part of the program, allowing young people to explore interests, develop skills, and achieve personal growth. Squirrel Scouts work towards various badges, including activity badges, staged activity badges, and challenge awards. These badges are earned by completing requirements through hands on activities, teamwork and individual challenges.
