Explorers Leadership Activity Badge

Explorer Scout Leadership Activity Badge

This award helps you develop and gain recognition for leadership skills, so you can lead and represent your fellow Explorers. Its a standalone award, which can be done at any time during Explorers. It takes at least six months to work towards this award. There are four parts to it _ each part giving you valuable skills you can benefit from throughout your life.

How to earn the badge:

1. Successfully lead  a team of Explorers throughout the course of a project. There are lots of possibilities but whatever you do, you’ll need to:

• set a goal for the project and individual targets for team members
• take suggestions and feedback from team members into account and act on them
• teach team members new skills that may be required for the project
• manage any tricky situations or people and find compromises
• give clear instructions, motivate your team, give praise, ensure that you are on track and make sure everyone is safe.

2. Take an active role in the running of an activity linking with the Scout section. Help a new Explorer Scout to be part of the Unit and help  them understand what is expected.

3. Help a group of Explorers or members of a younger section develop a Scouting skill.

4. Represent the views of other Explorer Scouts (for example at a District Explorer Scout Forum or similar) and report back to them afterwards.
