Joining In Award
Joining In Award
Joining In Awards are given to Scouts who play an active role in their Troop. You can earn one every 12 months, which means you can collect up to three during your time as a Scout. If you were a Beaver or a Cub, you’ll already be familiar with how they work.
How to earn your badge:
The badges are numbered, so you can be awarded a new badge every 12 months from your very first day in Scouting.
If you were a member in another section, the badge numbers carry on from the ones you already have.
They recognise how long you have been part of Scouting in total.
You can be awarded up to three Joining In Awards while you’re a Scout.
Each young person who participates in the Programme, including badges and awards, should face a similar degree of challenge, and requirements can be adapted according to each young person’s abilities. For more information and practical tips see our guidance on flexibility.
