Check out how the UK Space Agency supports our space themed activity badges
Why we work together
The UK Space Agency has partnered with the Scouts to help inspire the next generation of UK scientists and engineers by supporting our space themed badges. From Beavers through to Explorers, the practical and problem-solving skills developed through Scouting, along with the enthusiasm for science shown by Scout Leaders, could be instrumental in encouraging this future generation of space scientists and engineers.

Badges and resources
The UK Space Agency sponsors a range of space themed activity badges at Scouts, meaning everyone between 6-18 years old can explore and learn more about the beauty of our universe and space travel!
'Scouting set me on the right path at a young age because I loved the outdoors and I loved adventure. It gave me the opportunity to discover new interests, explore new boundaries and build the confidence to achieve new goals.'
Tim Peake, Astronaut and Scout Ambassador

About UK Space Agency
The government created the UK Space Agency in 2010. One of the agency’s aims is to inspire our next generation of UK scientists and engineers by motivating young people to study STEM and space.
The space sector is predicted to grow rapidly over the next decade as satellite technology, space exploration and other practical benefits of space are realised and developed. This growth will create a whole range of interesting careers for young people.
