"We celebrate the accomplishments of our Scouting youth and volunteers regularly with achievement badges for personal progression, leadership, outdoor adventure skills and more; there seemed to be a great opportunity to recognize Canadian public figures that reflect the core values of Scouting," said Justin Chenier, Scouts Canada's National Youth Commissioner. "Scouting gives kids a world of opportunities to discover what they're great at, their 'thing'. These public figures have not only found their thing, but they've also demonstrated admirable qualities that inspire Canadians."

A one-of-a-kind Scouts Canada badge will be sent to each winner. See associated high resolution images here
