Cubs Challenge Badge 2025



The idea is that this challenge should be spread across the whole year to compliment and sit alongside your programme; it contains things that you are likely already doing and things that can be grouped together.

These activities will also tick off criteria for many other badges and Challenges so be sure to cross-reference and earn as many as you can


The activities should be completed as part of the Pack programme but not every Cub needs to be present for every activity for it to count – similarly a Cub who joins part way through the year should not be excluded as long as they have taken part in some activities before the badge is finished. It is earned as a team.


There are three badges with different borders so you can choose a colour for every challenge year.  The order form will be available soon.
