Uniform

The Scouting Movement uses its uniform to symbolize an identity to the community, to provide a sense of pride and belonging amongst members, and to grant members an opportunity to express a personal commitment to Scouting’s Mission and Principles.

Many of these items can be purchased from our Troop, while other items are available in many common retails. Details are provided to parents and members in September – and therefore we recommend parents holding off on any purchases before that time

Badges

The focus of the Scouting program is on personal progression – on Scouts bringing their diverse experiences to the Scouting adventures and growing through new experiences. Badges help youth recognize and celebrate their personal progression and encourage them to set new goals. Scouts have the opportunity to work towards a variety of badges, including:

Outdoor Adventure Skills

Outdoor Adventure Skills are learned in the completion of adventures. Nine areas of skills are part of every Scouting Section, from Beaver Scouts to Rover Scouts. Each of the nine skills is defined in nine progressive stages.

Personal Achievement Badges

Personal Achievement badges recognize the successful completion of personal interest-based goals that Scouts set for themselves. Once a set of five goals is determined, the Scout works with a Scouter to develop and finalize the plan.
