Scouts Adventure Challenge Award

Scout Adventure Challenge Award Badge – Official Scouts UK Badge

The Scout Adventure Challenge Award Badge is an official Scouts UK award badge that recognises Scouts who take part in adventurous activities, develop practical outdoor skills, and learn how to take part safely and responsibly. It is one of the nine Scout Challenge Awards and also counts towards the Chief Scout’s Gold Award.

To earn the Adventure Challenge Award, Scouts need to complete four different adventurous activities, with at least two being new to them, and they should try to do those on at least two separate occasions. Scouts then need to show progress in one of the activities, explain the safety rules for all the activities they have tried, and learn how to protect the environment while taking part. The official Scouts page gives examples such as mountain boarding, gliding, hillwalking, traditional rafting, caving, kayaking, and abseiling.

This award is designed to encourage young people to step outside their comfort zone, try new experiences, and build confidence outdoors. It supports skill development, environmental awareness, and safe participation, making it a great fit for Scouts who enjoy challenge, movement, and adventure-based activities.

The official Scout Store listing names this as the Dacia Scouts Adventure Challenge Award Badge, reflecting the partnership that supports adventure opportunities for young people through the Scouts programme.
