At the Scouts we want to thank all our volunteers for their contribution to Scouting - it's an important way to make sure people stay with us and to recognise their achievements. Awards are a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of members and recognised volunteers in the team.

Since September 1919, volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge once they have completed their leader training.
