The Top Award In The Scout Section

To gain this top award, the Scout must complete the Outdoor Challenge, plus at least four of the remaining Challenge Badges, plus a personal challenge.

 

The Personal challenge

For each Scout the level of personal commitment needed will be discussed and agreed at the start of planning. Bear in mind that the activity needs to be challenging to each individual, so it is not necessarily the same for each Scout.

It is expected that Scouts would normally start the personal challenge six months before they are due to transfer to Explorer Scouts.

 

To complete the personal challenge, the Scout must complete the following three areas:

Area One - Adventure

• Take part in a completely new activity or achieve a higher standard in an existing activity.

Area Two - Leadership

• Attend at least two Troop Leadership Forum meetings and successfully achieve an action point from one of these meetings.

Area Three - Commitment

Complete an activity that demonstrates personal commitment. This could be:

 

• Community activities: for example, a weekend conservation project, an activity for younger people.
• Scouting activities: for example, website design and maintenance, helping with younger Sections.
• Hobbies and interests: for example, extra responsibilities in a choir or sports club.

 

 

This is a special award, and a unique adventure, bringing together all of what the Scouts have learned and experienced during their time in Scouting.

 

Good luck to all who take on this challenge.
