Pro-Badge 2026–2027 Season About to Start
We are about to start our 37th season of Pro-Badge! Our seasons run from October to April.
Annual Celebration & Awards Night
Thursday 22nd October at 7:00 PM
Lyons Lodge, Lyons Copse
We are starting the season with our Annual Celebration and Awards Night. This is where we present our prizes and awards, as well as answer any questions about what we do and why we do it.
We will also be adding the names of all Scouts who have completed all the courses to our permanent board in Lyons Lodge.
You are all invited!
First Pro-Badge Weekend: 23rd–25th October 2026
The first weekend of the season kicks off in late October with the following courses:
- Cubs: Our Adventure Challenge
- Scouts: Pioneer
- Explorer Scouts: Pioneer
We currently have Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers booked on, so these courses will be running—and we still have plenty of spaces available across all of them!

- Scouts: £47.00 (Reduced to £42.00 if paid in full at least two weeks before the course)
(Note: The difference in price is because Pines Cabin is cheaper to hire than Lyons Lodge.)

Volunteer Help Needed
We rely on volunteers to make these badge courses possible. You do not need to commit to a whole weekend—a few hours or a single day helps immensely. No previous skills are required as full training is provided; we are simply looking for enthusiastic individuals!
If you would like to volunteer or learn more, please email the team at pro-badge@hampshirescouts.org.uk so we can arrange to meet up.
