Awards

What you can achieve through Scouting

King Scouts Award

The King’s Scout Award is the top award in Scouting, the requirements for this award need more effort than the Duke of Edinburgh’s (D of E) Gold Award!
If you go the right way about it, by making sure that you register for the Gold D of E award when you start on the King’s Scout Award you can get both without any extra effort.
