Group Awards |
| |
A further option to help your
Balanced Programme are the three Group Awards. They are undertaken
by a number of Sections working together. For example, the
Cub Scout Pack working with the Scout Troop, or the Beaver
Scout Colony, Cub Scout Pack, Scout Troop and an Explorer
Scout Unit working together.
Each Group Award is based on a long-term project, which the
Group works on together over a period of at least three to
six months. The Group leadership team outlines the project
and the involvement that each Section will have in it. Set
yourself a start date and a completion date. You should develop
an action plan, carry it out and evaluate it. Once the project
is completed, the decision to award the badge to all Members
is that of the leadership team involved in the project (although
you may wish to involve your District or County/Area Commissioner).

Activity Badges |
| |
There are a number of Activity
Badges available to Explorer Scouts. These build on the requirements
of the Activity Badges in the Scout Section and lead towards
the requirements for National Governing Body Awards. This
chapter lists the requirements for all Explorer Scout Activity
Badges.
The requirements of the Activity Badges should be adapted
for Explorer Scouts with Special Needs. This should be done
together with the Explorer Scout, their parents or carers
and any other appropriate Adviser. |

is important. They are: |

Certificate of Achievement |
| |
This is awarded
to you at the end of every year you are an Explorer Scout.
It should show what you have done over the previous year and
what you intend to do next year. When you have received your
Certificate of Achievement, put it in your National Record
of Achievement to show what you have achieved in Scouting.
Be proud of it and keep it safe you may find it useful when
applying for jobs or further education.
