REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLETE<br />
PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT BADGES<br />
• Beaver Scouts choose or<br />
design three requirements<br />
to complete.<br />
• Cub Scouts choose or design<br />
four requirements to complete.<br />
• Scouts choose or design five<br />
unique requirements to complete.<br />
These five requirements can<br />
be pursued as five distinct<br />
adventures, or they can be<br />
completed within one adventure,<br />
as long as the requirements are<br />
clearly identified as separate<br />
objectives.<br />
• Venturer Scouts and Rover<br />
Scouts do not have Personal<br />
Achievement badges in their<br />
Section programs.<br />
The Personal Achievement Badge Process<br />
Plan: A template is provided for youth to plan their Personal Achievement badge<br />
goals and strategy. The plan is agreed upon between the youth engaging the badge<br />
and an older youth member of that Section (who may consult with a Scouter<br />
as necessary) who is involved in facilitating Personal Achievement badge work.<br />
Alternately, the youth engaging the badge may consult directly with a Scouter.<br />
Do: Gather needed materials and resources. Do the activities for the badge.<br />
Review: Use the age-appropriate SPICES questions as well as these questions<br />
for review:<br />
• What do you know now that you did not know before working on this badge?<br />
• What did you enjoy about the activities for this badge?<br />
• How have you shown the spirit of the Promise, Law and Motto in doing<br />
this adventure?<br />
• What was a challenge for you?<br />
• What would you do differently next time? Why?<br />
• What positive difference have you made in the lives of others in your community,<br />
this country or the world through the completion of this badge?<br />
The youth should share his or her badge work with other members of the Section as<br />
appropriate. Completion of the badge is agreed upon between the youth engaging the<br />
badge and an older youth member of that Section (or a Scouter) who is involved in<br />
facilitating Personal Achievement Badge work. A badge presentation ceremony should<br />
be held as soon as possible to recognize the youth's accomplishments.<br />
