Challenge Badges

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. 

There are nine challenge badges that are required to earn the Chief Scout Gold Award.

Are you ready? Let’s get stuck in.

Staged Activity Badges

The staged activity badges have been designed to provide a unified approach throughout the sections.

There are several activity badges staged across the sections.

This means that a young person can gain whichever badge is appropriate to the level they have reached. It is possible, for example, for a Beaver Scout who is an excellent swimmer to gain a higher level badge than a Scout who has just taken up the activity.

A young person should always wear only the highest of each staged badge type that they have gained on the uniform.
