Sienna Chilcott, 13, from Ripon in North Yorkshire, has achieved a rare Scouting milestone by earning all 95 badges available to her in just two years, making her believed to be the UK's youngest Scout to complete them and only the second person to do so. She joined 4th Ripon Scouts in September 2024 and completed a wide range of activities and challenges to earn them.
The 95 badges include 63 activity badges, 15 staged badges, nine Challenge Awards, four YouShape awards, an Earth Tribe award, an Assistant Patrol Leader badge, a two-year joining-in award and the Chief Scout's Gold Award, which is the highest Scout-section award. The activities ranged from parascending and fly fishing to dragon boating, caving and orienteering. She also developed practical and organisational skills whilst working as a quartermaster.
Sienna followed in the footsteps of her brother Jakoby, who previously earned every badge during his time with 4th Ripon Cubs. Sienna said she 'enjoyed doing my badges because of the new experiences and opportunities I have gained' and 'liked meeting new people within Scouting'. She still has another year before moving up to Explorers.
