Other Awards & Recognition

BSA offers many other awards in addition to merit badges and rank advancement. Some of these awards are fairly straightforward (Mile Swim) while others are challenging even for the most advanced Boy Scout. These awards span a wide range of topics and include religious education, foreign languages, to conservation.
