Chief Scout's Gold Award

Tips

• If you haven’t quite completed the challenges for the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, you can complete them in your first term in the Explorer Unit.
• You can wear your Chief Scout’s Silver Award on your uniform until you achieve your Chief Scout’s Gold Award.

This is the highest award a Scout can earn. To complete it, you need to earn six Activity or Staged Activity Badges of your choice, as well as all nine of the Challenge Awards. The Chief Scout’s Gold Award shows that you’ve given new things a go, played your part, and stuck it out, even when the going got tough. It’s a really big achievement, and you should be proud.

How to earn your badge:

1. Finish the nine challenge awards. They are:

Adventure

Skills

Team Leader

Teamwork

World

2. Earn six activity or staged activity badges of your choice. They could be badges you gain outside your normal meetings or ones you’ve worked towards at meetings.​
