Achievement Pathways
Scouts | Terrain is the website where all youth sections can explore, take on and achieve the various badges and awards of the Scouting movement, as well as log their experience. Each section uses the same basic system but as members grow and move through the sections, the challenge and complexity increases.
Logging in

For example, if the birth date is the 14th of August, 2015, the password would be 2015-08-14 (make sure to include the hyphens – ).
