Achievement Badge Scheme

The Achievement Badge Scheme recognises each Cub's individual interest areas. Cub Scouts can choose from 34 badges, encompassing the arts and literature; nature, science and technology; sports and recreation; and the wider world.

Special Interest Badges

There are also seven Special Interest Badges for Cub Scouts: Landcare Badge; Local History Badge; Waterwise Badge; Our Heritage Badge; Language Emblem; Faith Awareness Badge; World Conservation Badge; and Cub Scout Leadership Course Badge.

Grey Wolf Award

The Grey Wolf Award is the ultimate award for a Cub Scout. This can be attained by participating in a number of outdoor activities, attending Pack Councils, achieving a number of Level 2 Achievement Badges and Special Interest Badges, and developing a Jungle Book group resource.

When each component of the Grey Wolf Award has been completed, a request is submitted to the State Office for approval by the Branch Commissioner (Cub Scout). See the links below for the relevant forms.
