On 1 August every year we celebrate Scouting’s birthday by awarding an Honorary Scout Activity Badge for a particular accomplishment or achievement. The accolades will be presented to public figures who have achieved something special across a range of activities.
The shortlist
The eclectic shortlist of nominees has been drawn from members' recommendations and features athlete and double Olympic champion Mo Farah (Athletics Badge), TV presenter and broadcaster Jameela Jamil (Communicator Badge) and Sir Alex Ferguson (Sports Enthusiast Badge)
Previous winners of Scout Birthday Badges include Clare Balding, Miranda Hart, and David Walliams.
