Greetings noble leaders!
As excitement builds for WINGS 2026, Scouts and Guides from all sections are invited to take on the WINGS Shield Challenge and achieve their badge. This is open to everyone, whether joining the full WINGS event, WINGS in a Day or those who are unable to participate.
The Shield Challenge is inspired by our WINGS 2026 Anglo-Saxon theme, where each of our sub-camp Kingdoms will become known for their distinct and special characters. We’re sure that your young people will enjoy immersing themselves in the various activities and earning their Shields! Click here to find out more . . .
