Date: 19th Sep 2025 Author: Phoebe McDowell

We’re excited to announce that our next Chief Scout’s Gold Award and King’s Scout Award Celebration will take place on Friday 9 January 2026 at Belfast City Hall.

This is a special evening to recognise Scouts and 14–24 members who’ve achieved one of these top awards. If you have young people due to receive their Award, please make sure to register them here.

Important
To attend the celebration, the King’s Scout Award Completion Form must be filled in and returned to the NI Scout Office (pamelahale@scoutsni.org) by 31 October 2025. This is the final cut-off from Gilwell to ensure Awards are processed in time.
