Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker badge

In stage 4 you will demonstrate that you can combine a variety of digital making skills to solve a problem or meet a challenge related to Scouting

How to earn your badge:

  1. Using a combination of programming, digital art, digital devices, electronic components, and other appropriate materials, create something that could serve a purpose in a Scouting activity.
  2. Attend a digital making event and show your work, or help somebody else in your section or another section to work towards a Digital Maker Staged Activity badge.
    1. You could take part in a Raspberry Jam, attend a Code Club, attend a hackathon, or visit a Coderdojo.

Tips

  • You can help others to work towards any stage of their Digital Maker Staged Activity badge. If you are an Explorer Scout Young Leader, supporting Beavers, Cubs, or Scouts with their Digital Maker activities would count for this requirement.
  • Showcase your tech projects with other creators in the UK and across the world! Check out the Coolest Projects webpages to take part for free from February, or join the celebratory livestream with announcement of the judges’ favourite projects in June.

     

    We’d love to see Scouts of all ages involved so please mention you’re a Scout when you register!

April 2024.

Requirements can be adapted to suit each young persons abilities. See our guidance on flexibility.
