National challenge

A special badge is created and awarded each year to members of all branches who successfully complete the national challenge.

National Challenge

In 2019, the National Challenge's scope expanded from Packs to all branches of the movement.

From 2018 to date (2024), the themes of the challenges were based on WOSM's Better World Framework and the Scouts for SDGs campaign, which supports the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
