The
Queen's Scout or
King's Scout Award is the second highest youth award achievable in the scouting movement in several countries (the highest honour being the Baden-Powell Award ). It is awarded in a number of countries including the
United Kingdom and
Australia. The Queen's Scout Award is actually conferred by the
British monarch via
Royal Warrant; you are not awarded a Queen's Scout, you become one. The requirements are different in each country but typically involve achieving challenges from several areas such as
community involvement, adventurous activities, personal growth and
leadership development. Whether the award is a Queen's or King's Scout Award depends on who is the current
British monarch.
A roughly equivalent award in the United States and the Philippines is the Eagle Scout.
