Where do my badges go
What badges can your Beavers work towards?
There are a number of core badges, obtained upon joining or moving on from the Colony, or for time spent in the Scouting movement. These include the Membership Award, Moving-on Award (Beaver Colony to Cub Pack) and Joining-In Awards.
Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Beaver Scouts to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests. There are over 20 in total, so they can always find one that is of interest to them.
