Challenge 26 Badge Competition

Date: 6th Apr 2026 Author: Cathryn Atkinson

Challenge 26 is less than 100 days away and we need your help to make sure the camp badge is as brilliant as the event itself!

We want your Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers to design a badge to be produced as the official Camp Badge and given out to the over 5000 attendees of Challenge 26.

Badge Designs can be any shape (square, circle, rectangle etc) must include ‘Challenge 26’ somewhere on the badge and must be made up of 10 colours or less, the rest of the badge is down to the creativity and imagination of your young people.

We’ve included images of some of the previous Challenge Camp badges below for inspiration (see images below)

We’ve produced a badge design entry form that you can download and share with your young people which they can send their entries back to us directly via email or post.

Challenge26 – Badge Entry Form

The deadline for competition entries is the 4th May 2026 so it’s a perfect project for your young people to work on over the Easter School Holiday.

All entries will be judged by an independent panel and the winner will be announced the week of Challenge 26.

if you have any question about the Challenge 26 Badge competition, please email challenge26@cycscouts.org.uk and the C26 Admin Team will do their best to help.
