The 115th Year Challenge badge has been created to Challenge the Young People of the group to learn new Skills and try new things.
The Badge consists of 6 parts which will need to be completed for the badge to be awarded. There are 3 levels of the badge designed for 3 age ranges from Beavers, cubs and scouts.
The badge can be completed in a number of ways, from try and joining in at section meetings which cover parts of the badge, to completing other parts at home or out with family and Friends.
As this is a Challenge badge, we want the Young people to go the extra mile and be proud of what they have achieved.
This Badge will be run for our 115th Birthday Year from Feb 2023 till Jan 2024.
Please see the 6 section which detail ideas how to complete the sections. This is open for your Young person to come up with their own way to complete they section and we would like to hear your ideas.
Any questions please speak to your section leader or email gsl@systonscouts.org.uk with any questions.
