Beaver Badges

Ultimately we hope that over a two year programme that a Beaver will earn a large number of activity badges all of the challenge award badges and qualify for the Chief Scout Bronze Award which is a special achievement an signals the Beavers readiness to move on into Cubs.  Beavers earning badges is an exciting element of being in the Scouting movement.  There are four main areas of attainment Core, Activity, Challenge and Partnership .  Our goal is to help a Beaver achieve the Chief Scout Bronze award before they become a cub and this means achieving the challenge badges and good cross section of the activity badges. 

Some Badges can be completed at home.  Below are some of these badges.
Normally only 1 of the below would be completed per term, please speak to a leader for any further information.
