## What is Badge Book?

Badge Book is your reference guide to all UK Scouts badges for all sections. 
Our aim is to make looking up badges as easy as possible, for both young people and leaders.  


239 BADGES AND COUNTING
• All sections from squirrels to explorers
• All badge requirements included and kept up to date
• Collections of similar badges for you to explore
• Promise (all variations) and law included
• Add badges to your favourites to keep track
• Badge of the day for each section

This app is made by one UK Scout Leader (me, hello!) who came up with the idea on a summer camp where we had no signal to look up badges, and no physical badge book. 
After other leaders in our group found it useful, I decided to make it more widely available. 

I can be contacted with any feedback or suggestions at badgebookapp [at] gmail [dot] com

I hope you find the app useful too.

### 4/5 — Wrong badge

*2026-06-15*

Just thought I should say that I downloaded it today and the badge of the day for the explorer section was a challenge badge that only the scouts section can get. Also it would be great to be able to track my progress on badges without having to pay but other than that all is quite good

### 2/5 — Not bad

*2025-07-31*

Good for keeping a record but needs some refining. The staged badges can only be favourited as a whole and not each stage. Would be nice to see what you have marked as favourite on the main list as well so you can see how far you have got and what you have left to get

### 4/5 — Please update with new badges

*2025-07-20*

I love this app but it needs updating with the latest badges eg Money, Astronomer, International and Naturalist additions and Pioneer.

### 5/5 — Fantastic resource

*2025-05-02*

Perfect for those leaders who do more than one section and is updated regularly 

Would love an offline version for when in those areas with limited signal

### 3/5 — App

*2024-12-24*

Good would like to be able to tick badges off

### 2/5 — Ok but not as expected

*2024-07-14*

It’s ok but totally not like the book where my son and I have been able to mark off each level of the staged badges he has completed, it seems you can only mark of the the whole badge name ie Hikes Away regardless of the level achieved. 

I would also like to see and overview what badges he has got now and what he needs.

Also might be nice to be able to personalise the app to include your child’s name too, maybe also the date badges achieved. 

At the moment the app doesn’t work for us as a family so will now be ordering a book like we had in Beavers and Cubs.

If any of the above is incorrect please do let me know to help me navigate the app more efficiently x

### 3/5 — Seems to work great

*2024-03-01*

Only thing I would have liked would be to have the option to ‘tick off’ a badge and/or clause when completed

### 2/5 — It crashes

*2024-01-12*

no because why am I paying like three pounds for it to completely crash?
it was really good when it was working, but whenever I open it now, it completely crashes and makes my phone lag. I’ve been told that it happens regularly and they just update it but think wisely when buying because paying four pounds for an app that just crashes is CRAZY

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thanks for leaving a review and I'm so sorry this happened! I made a mistake with the update before last, but it should all be fixed now. 

I can always be contacted at badgebookapp@gmail.com if you have any issues in the future.

All the best,
Victor

### 1/5 — Hopefully could be good eventually

*2024-01-12*

Downloaded this as I’m a scout leader however when I change to the scouts section the app crashes and won’t load back up

**Developer response:** Hi there,

I'm so sorry this happened - I made a mistake with the update before last which caused the app to crash for some people. I noticed this at the scout meeting I was running on Friday night and my heart sank! I've fixed the issue with the latest update.

Hopefully now you can open the app you'll find it useful. If you have any feedback at all, or encounter any other issues, I can always be contacted at badgebookapp@gmail.com


All the best,
Victor

### 5/5 — Just what we need

*2023-10-08*

Since the last app was not updated this is a must for all leaders of scouting. 

Clear and concise, badges grouped under the challenge badge it covers or as a list of all badges.

All sections too !   

Ability to add favourites for those badges you use all the time.  

A great pocket resource. 

Just hope it’s kept updated as badges change.
