YouShape Award: Central badge badge

At Scouts, you learn how to speak up and take the lead. But you told us that the programme doesn't recognise this enough. That’s what the new YouShape Award is all about.

How to earn your badge:

  1. Choose one thing you’d like to change, improve or deliver for young people in your Troop or section, and make it happen.

    This could be learning or teaching a new skill, developing your current talents or interests, or changing something about Scouts.

Tips

  • Once a young person has set their goal in conversation with a leader, this central element of the YouShape Award can be presented to the young person.

October 2024.

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