FAQs
Presenting the Award
The section leader for which the young person is coming from
presents the Moving-on Award, normally at a going-up ceremony. Or
if the requirements for the Membership Award have been completed,
it could be presented at the investiture ceremony for the section
they're going to.
The Moving-on Award on the uniform
A young person wears the award on the left breast, above the
Membership Badge and above the Joining In Award. The young person
should wear the award throughout their time with the section.
Completing the Membership Award and making the Promise
Young people should make the Promise between 6 and 12 weeks of
joining. If they have been a member of a previous section, they
will probably be ready much sooner.
The promise should be made in front of other members and the
location should be appropriate and memorable. In Explorer
Scouts and Scout Network it should be decided by the young person
with help from other Members.
