CUB BADGES

Cubs wear badges on their uniform to identify which group they’re part of and to show what activities and challenges they’ve completed.  We describe some of these briefly below.  A diagram of where each of them should be placed on the uniform can be found here.

Core badges

There are a number of core badges, which Cubs will bring with them from Beavers, or are given during investiture if new to the group.  These describe the Pack that you are now part of and include the group name tape, county and district badges, the membership award and the group badge which we wear on the back of the scarf.

Challenge Awards

Gaining a challenge award involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Pack or community. Challenge awards range across different themes, from those based on outdoors and physical activities to challenges relating to the local community or issues connected with the Scouting world.  The highest award achievable as a Cub is the Chief Scout’s Silver Award.
