Explorers Motor Sports Activity Badge

Explorers Motor Sports Activity Badge

Motor Sports badge

The thrill of the race, the speed, the control. Are you ready to get behind a wheel and take to a track?

You should aim to take part in your chosen activity for 6 to 12 months.

How to earn your badge:

  1. Take part in your chosen motor sport, once you’ve agreed the activity with your leadership team. Show how you’ve improved over a period of time.
  2. Talk to a group of young people about the skills and techniques you have used.
  3. Explain the safety rules, and how to responsibly use the skills you have learned, to an appropriate adult.
  4. Take part in at least two competitions or demonstrations. Talk about your performance and ways to improve with the examiner or instructor.
  5. Take up an organisational role on at least two occasions.

    It could involve marshalling a motor sports event, timekeeping or administration. Show that you’re making a positive contribution to the development and continuation of your chosen motor sport.

Tips

  • The two competitions could be between locally arranged and between different Explorer units. The organisation of these competitions would count towards that requirement too.

October 2024.

Requirements can be adapted to suit each young persons abilities. See our guidance on flexibility.
