Teenage Scout collects all 95 badges, Digi Mart USA News (United Kingdom): Scouts know the satisfaction of earning a badge after hard work. Thirteen-year-old Sienna has collected all 95 of them, a milestone she reached just two years after joining her Troop.
Sienna told the BBC she “enjoyed it so much.” She still has a year left in Scouts before she joins Explorers, the section for 14- to 18-year-olds, next year.
Her collection includes 63 activity badges, 15 Staged badges, nine Challenge awards, four You Shape awards, the Earth Tribe award, the Assistant Patrol Leader badge and her two-year joining-in award. She has also received the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the top award available to any Scout in the UK.
Her favourite is the parascending badge, which involves flying in the air on a parasail, a large kite, attached to either a boat or a land vehicle. The Scouts website says this badge will be removed from the programme from summer 2027.
Sienna followed her older brother Jakoby, who also collected all his badges at the same Troop. Her friends were “really surprised” by the collection and often ask about the badges on her sleeve.
Troop leader Dave Baker said he was “immensely proud” of Sienna’s achievement. “I’ve been volunteering for nearly 20 years now,” he said.
“I have never seen anything like it. It is a rare thing.”
UK Chief Scout Dwayne Fields also commented in a special message, saying it was “so impressive” that she had achieved all the badges in “such a short space of time.”
