Is there an activity you'd really like to do more of? If you have the highest level of any of the badges, the Activity Plus badge could be your next big challenge.

Your leader can award it if you have done really well in an activity. Your leader can also award you if you've tried hard and done more than what was expected of you.

You can also earn the Activity Plus if you've taken something on even though you don't have the best facilities available.

Here are a few examples of targets for Scouts:

  • For the Pulling PLUS, take charge of a boat under oars.
  • For the Meteorologist PLUS, keep a weather diary for an agreed number of months.
  • For the Dragon Boating PLUS, train for a month as part of a team to compete in a national dragon boating competition.
  • For the Paddle Sports PLUS, gain the British Canoeing Paddle Power Explore levels 8 and 9, or the British Canoeing Paddle Power Excel.
  • For relevant PLUS badges, gain a personal or leadership permit, or an NGB qualification for the activity.

A PLUS badge can be awarded for any Scout activity badge, apart from the following: Athletics, Athletics Plus, Community Impact, Hikes Away, Nights Away, Time on the Water. When an Activity PLUS is awarded for a staged Activity Badge it can only be awarded against the highest stage of that badge.
