OAS Bushwalking Badge

This achievement badge may only be purchased by an Adult Leader or Authorised Unit Representative.

Outdoor Adventure Skills are one aspect of the new program Achievement Pathways.

There are 9 skill areas. * 3 core areas (Bushcraft, Bushwalking and Camping)* 6 specialist areas (Alpine, Aquatic, Boating, Cycling, Paddling and Vertical)

Each Skill area is broken into 9 Stages, with skills progressively increasing from 1 to 9

Bushwalking is one of the three Core skill areas, forming a regular part of any Sections program as well as an area that members may persue to advanced levels.

Only the highest Stage attained in each skill area is to be worn on your uniform.

These badges are across all Scouting youth sections (Joey Scouts to Rover Scouts), therefore when changing sections should be removed from one shirt and sewn onto the shirt of the next section.
