The Joining In Awards recognise a commitment to Scouting. They celebrate Beaver Scouts participating in a Balanced Programme over a period of time. These badges are not Section specific. They recognise the length of time a young person has been a Member of the Scout Movement, rather than as a member of any individual Section.

In the Colony, up to two Joining In Awards can be earned. They would normally be presented one year after the Beaver Scout has joined the Colony. The award acknowledges and celebrates an active involvement in a Balanced Programme. Some Colonies award a Joining In Award around the time of a Beaver Scout's birthday.

There is no need to remove the previous Joining In Award when a new one is awarded.
