The BSA has many additional awards Scouts (and leaders) can earn while participating in the program. Each of these awards has their own unique requirements, so we won’t cover them in the bootcamp. Scouts can earn additional awards such as:
- Recruiter Strip (for those who recruit a new Scout to the Troop)
- Religious Emblems for the Scout’s faith
- Achievements in Swimming, Hiking, Canoeing and more such as “50-miler award” or the mile swim
- Completion of additional Training such as Boardsailing, Lifeguard, or Standup Paddle Boarding.
- Environmental recognition (i.e. EPA Award, Distinguished Conservation Service award)
- And more
A full list of awards and requirements is available on Scouting.org.
Scouts who are interested in earning one of these awards should discuss their goals and objectives with the Scoutmaster who will guide them through the process of earning the award.
