The Scouting program is centred around 4 core program elements including 1) Leadership, 2) Citizenship, 3) Personal Development and 4) Outdoor Skills.

Activity badges are awarded for each of these program elements and are linked to three achievement awards: The Voyager Scout Award, The Pathfinder Scout Award and the Chief Scout Award. Generally the Patrols work towards each of these awards as a group. 

Challenge Badges are award for personal achievment in a number of subject areas including Athletics, Outdoors, Home and Family, Personal Development, Science and Technology, and Environment.  

The Core program recognition Scheme is outlined int he Canadian Scout Handbook on pages 62 and 62.

All Activity and Challange Badge requirements can be found in the Canadian Scout Handbook. Activity and Challange Badges are displayed on the Scout sash. Details on badge placement can be found in the Reference Material Section. 

Requirements can also be found on-line at the following link 

Parents are encouraged to be aware of the award scheme and actively encourage and work with the youth to assist them in achieving the various goals.

As leaders we require signoff from parents/guardians on badge work completed at home.
