Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts
Awards and Achievements
This page recognises the achievements of our Scouts and Leaders, and also the special service given by many of our LGSS family members.
The Scout program is a single program from Joey Scout to Rover Scout, increasing in required skill level. The highest award (Peak Award) Scouts can get in each section are:
-
Joey Scout Challenge Award for Joeys
-
Grey Wolf Award for Cubs
-
Australian Scout Award for Scouts (called the Premier Scout Award until 2003)
-
King's Scout Award for Venturers (called the Queen Scout Award until 2024)
-
Baden-Powel Award for Rovers
Adult Leaders are presented with the first part of their Wood Badge (the Gilwell woggle) on achievement of their Certificate of Proficiency. When adults complete their Leader training, they are awarded a Gilwell scarf and Wood Beads.
There are a number of other awards for adults to recognise their support of Scouting.
