Walkabout Award

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

NOTE: 750km & 1000km badges will be available from March'26

The Walkabout Award Badge is earned for the total kilometer's travelled under human power through a youth’s time in Scouting. The minimum distance to be counted toward the tally for Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts is 1km while it is 5kms for all others. Journeys taken in a canoe, kayak, skis or a bicycle are divided by 2 e.g. a 20 km bike hike earns 10 km to the Award. Day and overnight journeys provided they are over the minimum distance for the section, may be included for the Award. They may be worn above the pocket of the uniform below the World Badge.

Recipients should only wear the highest level they have achieved.
