IT Badge

I have had a few enquiries about what is required for the IT badge.

I have checked out the following link:
http://www.itbadge.org.uk/
which is safe to allow your child onto. It will guide him/her through the various stages required.

On Stage One:
A certificate can be printed out at the end, after the Beaver works his/her way through the tasks.
If the parent can sign off tasks 1 and 5, and the Beaver brings it in (with the poster and picture from task 3 and 4) then I am happy that they have satisfied all requirements, and they will have earned their IT badge.

Note for cubs/scouts parents: as this is a “staged” badge, cubs and scouts details are available from the same page with the same criteria


There is also a competition:
Representatives from BCS and The Scout Association will select the winners based on creativity and innovative use of IT Skills.

One winner will be selected from each age range:
winners in Beaver, Cub and Scout categories will each collect a Nintendo DS Lite game console.
