Scout Challenge is a fun program to reward scouts for actively participating in scout events and expanding the Scouting influence in their every-day lives.
By encouraging scouts to complete certain tasks, the depth and breadth of your unit's scouting grows the direction you want.

• The Scout Challenge is completely On Your Honor and you track your progress.
• When a Challenge Item is completed, enter your completion date.
• Receive recognition patches and year pins to collect.

• Completely customized to your unit's goals. Would you like scouts to complete more merit badges, or get better at knots, or provide more service? Add more Challenge Items that promote your goals.
• Create Challenge Items specific for your unit, or choose from a long list of premade tasks.
• View the status of each scout towards completion.
• View past Scout Challenges to help prepare upcoming years.
• Encourage Packs or Troops in your area to start their own Scout Challenge so Cubs can continue their collection of year pins all the way through their Scouting career.
• Order recognition patches and year pins for your scouts.
• Two patch style choices.
• Annual pins "2015", "2016", ... recognize scouts every year.
• Consider adding 'adult only' Challenge Items so those great volunteers can also be recognized each year.

Why Bother?
