What are the next steps?
- What are you waiting for, speak to your leaders or your parents and organise your project.
- Remember each project will need to be authorised by your scout leader (we don’t want you doing anything dangerous)
- Once you have completed the number of hours you gain an award. Send your log sheet to the county office so we can arrange for you to receive your Badge and Certificate.
- Continue to log your hours up to the next level.
- If you have any questions please do contact us.
Badges for this award are worn at the bottom of the right scout shirt sleeve.
