It’s not about the patch or the medal or even that epic cake at the ceremony<\/a>. It’s about all the incredible Scouting adventures that preceded them.<\/p>\n

Scouting awards — from the very first Cub Scout adventure loop to that final Eagle Palm and beyond — are physical representations of the Scouting journey. There are dozens of awards in Scouting<\/a>, but each BSA program (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouts) has one that towers above the rest.<\/p>\n

Each of these pinnacle awards has requirements expertly crafted to guide young people toward new experiences, build confidence and impart essential life skills.<\/p>\n

Before we get to the list, a word of warning to your Scouts or Venturers: These awards aren’t easy to earn. They’ll take a lot of work. But because Scouting is rooted in fun and adventure, this work never feels<\/em> like work — a fact that makes earning one of these amazing awards even sweeter.<\/p>\n

What is the highest award in Cub Scouts?<\/h2>\n
