Squirrel Awards

Start with your membership badge and climb all the way up.

From your very first day at Squirrels to your last day at Explorers, being a Scout is all about trying new things.  You can work towards as many badges as you like, at your own pace.

Each award is packed with awe and awesome, perfect for anyone who’s ever asked ‘Why?’ (or ‘Why not?’). You’ll think about what makes you unique and learn to be the best friend you can be, enjoy your first campfire and meet some new people.

There’s something for everyone – and that means that there’s something for you.

Chief Scout’s Acorn Award

This is the highest award a Squirrel Scout can earn. It shows that you’ve had adventures, helped your friends, and learned new things – it’s a big achievement,

and you should be proud!

 

Challenge Awards

Challenge Awards are all about stepping outside your comfort zone. Try out something you wouldn’t normally be interested in. Take the lead on something that scares you. Along the way, you’ll unlock hidden talents and stand tall.
