Empowering Scouts to Advocate Through The Badge Archive

Scouts have always been leaders in making a difference, and now there’s a new way to take action! The Badge Archive offers scouts a platform to share researched advocacy pieces on topics that matter to them, helping to raise awareness and spark conversations within the wider scouting community.

By submitting a well-researched topic in the provided format, scouts can help educate others on important issues, highlight new perspectives, and contribute to meaningful discussions. Whether it’s environmental conservation, social justice, or community service, every voice has the potential to create positive change.

If you have a topic you’re passionate about, consider submitting your research to The Badge Archive—your insights could inspire others to take action!

How to Structure Your Advocacy Article

✔ Introduce the issue – Explain what the topic is and why it matters.
✔ Outline key challenges – Highlight important struggles or barriers related to the topic.
✔ Provide clear action steps – Offer practical ways scouts can advocate for change.
✔ Include trusted sources – Cite at least three reliable references where the information came from.
