Youth Voice Virtual Badge Competition

Date: 9th Feb 2026 Author: Cathryn Atkinson

We’re excited to announce a brand-new virtual badge design
competition — and we want you to be part of it.

 

We’re creating a special virtual badge that will appear on adverts and information for activities that have been suggested or shaped by young people within Scouts.

It’s a symbol that says: “Young people made this happen.”

And who better to design it than the young people themselves?

🎨 What we’re looking for:  We want a badge design that Celebrates youth voice and creativity; Feels fun, positive, and empowering; Shows that young people influence what we do; Can be easily recognised across all our programmes; No need to be a professional artist — sketches, doodles, and bold ideas are all welcome. We’ll take care of polishing the final design.

🏆 What happens next:  The winning design will be turned into the official “Young People Suggested” virtual badge seen by Scouts across the county; Credited to the young person who created it

📅 How to enter:  Submit a scanned drawing, photo, or digital file of the design, using the template linked below.  The design must include the young person’s name, and group

Send entries to: lucy.taverner@cycscouts.org.uk
Deadline: 27/02/2026

This is a chance to champion youth leadership, celebrate creativity, and shape something that will be used with pride for years to come. We can’t wait to see what you dream up!

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Good Luck!
