From the age of 16, Explorer Scouts can take on the fantastic challenge of the Explorer Belt and can also start their Queen’s Scout Award, the highest award for youth members. The Awards are progressive, so if they’ve achieved their Chief Scout’s Platinum or Diamond Awards, they will have a great headstart. Take a look at the badge support blog for the Queen’s Scout Award and all the support materials. As with all badges and awards, there is flexibility in the requirements, although, with these top awards, any necessary adaptations should be discussed with the Commissioner who signs off the award.
