Earning badges

At Lower Grange Farm we love a badge – it’s not just a piece of fabric on your uniform or blanket, but charts your achievements and memories taking part in the Scout or Girlguiding programme.

Many of the activities at Lower Grange Farm can be used to help complete badge requirements. We also offer specific badge focused sessions designed to support you and help your young people achieve a new badge.

So if your pioneering is a bit ropy and map reading leaves you lost, or if you'd just like to do something a bit different away from your usual meeting place, take a look at the courses below.

You can find out more about some the badge courses we offer below. To find out more or arrange a course, please contact us.
