Explorer Badges

Explorer Membership & Moving-On Award

The Membership and Moving-On Awards signify that an Explorer Scout has made their promise and has participated in the programme for a period of time. The Membership Award signifies that an individual is part of the scout movement. The Membership Award is only completed by young people joining from outside the Movement. If you have previously been a Scout then you will have this badge, and would complete the Moving-On Award
