Earlier today we recieved the sad news that Cherryl Thomas, who was Cub Leader and GSL at 1st Royton throughout the 90's and OO 's, and was also District Young Leader Leader for Crompton and Royton until 2014, passed away on Wednesday evening. Cherryl had been battling cancer for a while and was at home with her family when she passed.

Cub Scout badges and awards
There is a range of badges and awards available to young people in the Cub Scout Section.
Activity badges
Many of the badges available are activity badges, which allow Cub Scouts to show their progress in existing pursuits, but also to try all kinds of new things and form new interests.
Challenge awards
Gaining a challenge badge involves accomplishing a number of more ambitious tasks within the Pack or community. There are several challenge badges across a number of themes, from the physical and outdoorsy to challenges dealing with the local community or issues connected with the Scouting world.
Core badges
In addition, there are a number of special badges, obtained upon joining or moving on from the Pack, or for time spent in the Scouting movement.
