Introduction
The Baden-Powell Scout Award is the highest youth award in Scouting. There are two methods of achieving it:
- Method A (the traditional scouting method) involves the Service Badge, the Project Badge, the Scoutcraft Badge and the Rambler's Badge.
- Method B (the arts degree method) involves the Spiritual Development Badge, The Intellectual & Emotional Development Badge, the Social Development Badge and the Physical Development Badge.
For more information on the difference between the two methods, see The BPSA - Where do I begin? on rovers.com.au.
Before commencing the BPSA a Rover must have completed the Rover Skills Badge, which comprises basic scouting experience - camping out on 3 occasions, providing 10 hours of service and demonstrating an understanding of the Promise, Scout Law and Rover Prayer. I completed my Rover Skills badge on 16/3/2007.
I began Method A of the BPSA with the Service Badge on 19/3/2007.
This website documents my progress and achievements.
