Squirrels YouShape Award: Central badge

The Central badge is all about thinking about what you want to achieve, exploring ideas, setting a goal and making it happen.

Each young person should choose one thing they’d like to learn more about, do or explore in Squirrels. They should then talk with a parent or carer, Young Leader or your Squirrel volunteers to make it happen.
It could involve your local area, local community, stories you love or ideas you’re inspired by.

Once everyone in your Drey has found their themes together, and young people have talked to their volunteer team about what their theme means to them, then this central element of the YouShape Award can be presented to each Squirrel that took part.

May 2024.

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