Badges
Bronze
Silver Gold Chief Scout Personal Badges- (these are completed outside of scouts mostly) Each night we complete activities that will be marked off your badge work. If you are not at scouts on a night then you may miss out on something being marked off. Some things may not get repeated for 18 months.
Some of the badge work is designed to be completed outside of scouts Scouts at year 10 can attempt the chief Scout badge, which is the highest award in the scout section. This comes with a alot of work but is rewarded with a ceremony in their honor. Be Prepared to Give everything a go

Every night is different
Some parts are the same i.e. We have a flag break and prayer at beginning of night and then flag break and prayer at end of night.
BUT rest of the nights will be all different. Sometimes you will be playing games, learning scout skills, participating in discussions or planning a camp. Camps
Camps are run four times a year by your leaders as well as additional camps run by Zone.
These take a lot of organising and it is important that consent forms are in on time. We do not chase these. If they are not in on day required - you do not go. The Zone team run 4 training camps each year.
