Brand New Badges!
Very shortly, along with new branding, their will be a major change in the badges.
The Staged Activity badges will remain the same colour and shape, but the new ‘Digital Citizen’ will be replacing the I.T. There will also be 8 brand new ones, including:
1. Air Activities
2. Community Impact
3. Digital Citizen
4. Digital Maker
5. Nautical Skills
6. Navigator
7. Paddle Sports
The Challenge badges are being completely re-designed, with new colours and a new shape. There will still be nine Challenge badges, however only 3 of them are the current badges continued. The new ‘Creative Challenge’ is more about creative thinking that being artistic, as for the ‘Skills Challenge’ is more like the old ‘Creative Challenge’ badge, but using a wider variety of tools and equipment.
The Outdoor and Expedition Challenge (along with the ‘Creative Challenge’) are the only badges to continue, but with new requirements. The Outdoor Plus will no longer be an option.
If you get a certain number of Challenge badges you can receive your re-designed ‘Gold Award’.
1. Adventure
2. Creative Thinking
3. Expedition
4. Outdoors
5. Personal Challenge
6. Skills
7. Team Leader
8. Teamwork
9. World
10. GOLD AWARD
There’s a bunch of brand new Activity badges-these will remain the same design as the current ones, but could end up replacing some The new ‘Global Issues’ badge and ‘Environmental Conservation’ will be replacing the ‘Global Conservation’ badge, but making it more simpler to get.
Local Knowledge shares the same picture as the old ‘Heritage’ badge, but will have different requirements.
The ‘Activity Centre Service’ badge shares the same picture as ‘Campsite Service’ but will have new requirements and tasks.
‘Water Activities’ will probably be replacing the ‘Water Sports’ badge.

2. Air and Sea Activities
