A 13-year-old Scout from Ripon has earned all 95 badges available to her in just two years.
Sienna Chilcott, a member of 4th Ripon Scout Troop, completed the challenge after joining in September 2024.
She followed in the footsteps of her brother Jakoby, who previously earned every badge during his time with 4th Ripon Cubs.
Sienna’s achievement includes the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the highest award available in the Scout section.
She completed it with a year still to go before moving up to Explorers.
Sienna said:
“I enjoyed doing my badges because of the new experiences and opportunities I have gained.
"I also liked meeting new people within Scouting.”
Her collection includes 63 Activity badges, 15 Staged badges, all nine Challenge awards, four YouShape awards and an Earth Tribe award, alongside her Assistant Patrol Leader badge, two-year joining-in award and Chief Scout’s Gold Award.
Along the way, Sienna has tried parascending, fly fishing and dragon boating, as well as developing skills as a quartermaster and orienteer.
Sienna said:
“My favourite badge to complete was my parascending badge because I loved the experience that I gained from completing it and if I wasn’t a Scout I wouldn’t have had the opportunity.”
As part of her hill walking badge, Sienna also helped plan and lead groups of Year 7 pupils from her school on day-long hiking challenges to complete Yorkshire’s Three Peaks.
She worked alongside her teacher, a qualified mountain leader, to develop her navigation and leadership skills.
4th Ripon Scout Leader Dave Baker said:
“It goes without saying that Sienna is an incredible Scout showing amazing passion, resilience and a will to learn and make use of many new skills.”
He added:
“Through completing all her Scout badges Sienna has generated for herself new opportunities and experiences as well as complete something that I have never personally seen before in my near 20 years as a volunteer.
"Sienna knew from the start what she wanted to achieve and I can only applaud her for this incredible achievement of 95 badges earned.”
Dave said:
“Sienna is a superb asset to 4th Ripon Scout Group and we are all so happy for her.”
Sienna’s family have supported her throughout the challenge, with her mum Clare taking her to activities needed to complete badges including Parascending, Air Activities and Activity Centre Service.
Clare Chilcott said:
“We are unbelievably proud of Sienna and her achievements.
"She has shown dedication, hard work and sheer determination to achieve this goal.
"She has worked hard for each and every badge she has earnt.
"What makes us happiest is watching the growth and confidence being a member of Scouting has offered her.”
