Personal Achievement badges are designed to allow Scouting youth to acquire skills and knowledge in areas that are of particular interest to them, and to have that development recognized as part of their growth through Scouting. They give your child the opportunity to try something new, and to set achievable goals. Personal Achievement badges are generally pursued individually, and outside of weekly meetings. They can be pursued by Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts.

When a youth moves up in Scouting to join an older Section, that’s something to celebrate! Advancement Ceremonies for Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts are a fun and meaningful way to recognize and congratulate youth as they grow from one Scouting age group into the next. Discover how to host your Section ceremony below.

The Religion in Life Emblem is granted to a member, youth or Scouter, who has completed the requirements laid down by his or her own faith or denomination. It must be done to the satisfaction of one’s minister, priest, rabbi or other recognized spiritual leader.

There are five stages in the program, each denoted by coloured borders on the emblem: grey, green, blue, red and purple. Below are pamphlets that set out all requirements. You may start at any stage, according to age or capability.

The Spirituality Award is inclusive of various philosophical positions, optional and interchangeable with the Religion-in-Life Program. It enriches and provides varied opportunities for the Scouting community, showing appreciation towards other visions and commonality at the same time.

Spirituality makes use of religious ideas, methods, rituals and practices, but it is not itself, a formal practice. Spirituality is a way of life, a form of consciousness, a transparent awareness that is receptive to the presence of the sacredness in all things.
