Tips
- You only need to complete one pathway to earn your award, but you can complete all the pathways multiple times.
- The Earth Tribe Award pathways follow a similar structure to the Community Impact Staged badges, so you can draw on past experiences.
Once you have completed your pathway you can pre-order your Earth Tribe Award from Scout Store.
The Earth Tribe Award goes on your right arm, under the District and County/Area/Region badges.
July 2024.
