Badges

The following Portable Document Format (PDF) files show the challenge and activity badge requirements for Explorers/Network. The files have been created from the information available on ScoutBaseUK as at 14th February 2008.

The badge requirements are presented in a choice of formats:

  • A4 pages (includes bookmarks and hyperlinks)
  • A5 pages with each badge starting a new page – good for browsing in a small window (includes bookmarks and hyperlinks)
  • A6 booklet (Beavers, Cubs and Explorers) – four A6 pages per A4 sheet, intended to be printed double-sided, cut in half and then folded and stapled to form an A6 booklet
  • A5 booklet (Scouts) – two A5 pages per A4 sheet, intended to be printed double-sided and then folded and stapled to form an A5 booklet
  • A4 compact (Scouts) – useful for printers that support A5 booklet printing and saddle stitching

Covers for the A6 booklets are provided in separate files (two to a page) to allow for printing on to card. The Scout badge requirements are in a different format as there are too many pages for an A6 booklet.

Note: to print booklets at the correct size, please ensure that page scaling is set to ‘off’, ‘none’ or 100% in your PDF application.
