The Scouts have partnered with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, an amazing charity specialising in bringing digital making to people all over the world, to develop these badge requirements, new for May 2018. The new badge requirements move away from abstract concepts to use digital skills to solve problems, build resilience, help their communities and express themselves.

How to earn your badges:

There are eight different badges you can collect. Each one marks a certain number of hikes or journeys you will have completed:

1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 35, 50

You must be dressed and equipped for the weather conditions and terrain. Your leader will also need to make sure you’re following the rules in chapter nine of the Policy and Organisation Rules and the Activity Permit Scheme.

Setting off on an overnight expedition gives you a real feeling of freedom. These staged badges recognise the nights away you have been on.
