Chief Scout, Bear Grylls’ Never Give Up Woven Badge

This special badge can be given to a young person or adult in Scouts who’s shown resilience, tenacity and courage – in other words, that ‘never give up’ spirit.

Please note that this is a non-uniform badge, and can only be purchased by a current UK Scouts volunteer. The badge can be given at the discretion of the local leader as an encouragement or ‘well done’ to any Scout or volunteer locally who’s struggling with something, persevering, or making a particularly strong effort.

Chief Scout, Bear Grylls has suggested that this should be given at a special moment – perhaps at the end of the Scout term, the last night of a camp or after a challenge has been completed. A Never Give Up certificate template is also available to personalise and download on the Scouts Brand Centre.

A Never Give Up pin badge and neckerchief is also available and may be given to the Scout at the same time.

Please also remember that you can also nominate members for Good Service Awards, Meritorious Conduct and Gallantry Awards, including the Chief Scout’s Personal Award.
