​to achieve the Chief Scout Silver Award, Cub scouts must:
  1. Earn six activity or staged activity badges of your choice. They could be badges you gain outside of your normal meetings or ones you’ve worked towards at meetings.
  2. Finish the seven challenge awards. They are:
    • Our World Challenge Award
    • Our Skills Challenge Award
    • Our Outdoors Challenge Award
    • Our Adventure Challenge Award
    • Teamwork Challenge Award
    • Team Leader Challenge Award
    • Personal Challenge Award.

​For more information please speak to one of the Cub Scout Leaders.
