There are various Badges and awards which can be gained while you are scout, the main Award's are called Challenge awards, these are here to help you gain basic Scouting skills and to further your own development. The scout section offer over 70 Activity badges covering a wide range of interests and pursuits, these can be achieved as an individual base's or as the Troop. Once you have gained at least 5 Challenge Awards you can move on to the Highest Award in the Scout Section called the Chief Scout's Gold Award.
There are 2 other types of scout troops which are Air and Sea Scouts, these 2 sections still run a programme that involves the main Award work, but at certain times of the year they plan there programme around the Air and Water.
