If you’ve moved up from Beavers, you’ll already have a head start on your badge collection, and there’s plenty more to add as a Cub! Each type of badge has a designated spot on the jumper, ensuring your hard work is displayed proudly.
There are many badges and types of badges that Cubs can work for while in the Pack.
There are many badges that Cubs can work for while in the Pack.
Circle Activity Badges
These cover a wide range of interests and skills, from sports to creative activities abd are a great way for Cubs to explore their hobbies and learn something new. Some of the activites are too big for single badge so you can do these in stages (called Staged Activity Badges). There are over 50 Activity badges to earn and because there are so many, they get a whole sleeve of your cub jumper just for these!
Silver Challenge Badges
These silver-edged badges are achieved by completing specific challenges and activities. The ultimate goal is to earn all eight Challenge Badges to achieve the Chief Scout’s Silver Award. These silver-edged badges look so good they take pride of place on the jumper and are worn on right-hand side of the jumper, near the chest.
Other Badges
Badges are an important part of scouting so there are other ways to earn them. Such as leadership stripes for become a Sixer or Seconder, membership badges and occasional badges. When you have finished being a cub, we want to see more badges than jumper!
Each badge type has a special place on the jumper, find out where they go below.
