Scout, 13, among youngest to collect all 95 badges

A 13-year-old Scout has become one of the youngest ever to collect all 95 badges.

Sienna, who achieved the feat within two years of joining the 4th Ripon Scout Troop, said she had "enjoyed it so much".

The haul includes 63 activity badges, 15 Staged badges, nine Challenge awards, four You Shape awards, the Earth Tribe award, Assistant Patrol Leader badge and her two-year joining in award.

She has also been presented with the Chief Scout's Gold Award, the top award available to any Scout in the UK.

Sienna set herself the goal of collecting all the available badges after joining the Scouts in September 2024.

Among the activities she has completed are athletics, electronics and sailing, but she said the parascending badge was her favourite.

She said her friends were "really surprised" at the collection.

"They are always looking at my sleeve and they are always looking at all the badges and they're like, 'oh what's this one, what's this one?'"

Her achievement mirrors that of her older brother, Jakoby, who also collected all available badges with the 4th Ripon Scout Troop.

Troop leader Dave Baker said he was "immensely proud" of Sienna's achievement.

"I've been volunteering for nearly 20 years now," he said. "I have never seen anything like it. It is a rare thing."

Her achievements have also been recognised by the UK's chief scout.

In a special message, Dwayne Fields said it was "so impressive" she had achieved all the badges in "such a short space of time".

Sienna collected all the badges with a year still left in the scouts, but said she will continue to attend the sessions and Scout camps before joining the Explorers.

She will join Explorers, the section for 14 to 18-year-olds, next year.
