26 in '26 Network Challenge Badge

2026 is your year to take on 26 exciting challenges, each inspired by a letter of the alphabet. From A to Z, this initiative is all about trying new things, saying “yes” to fresh opportunities, and discovering what you’re capable of. Whether you want to get outdoors, learn new skills, help others, or unleash your creativity, there’s something for everyone.

This is an occasional badge so can be worn on your uniform throughout 2026, above your Membership Award.

Ideas to earn your badge:

• Find inspiration for your A-Z challenges
• Make your own A-Z bucket list
• Complete your A-Z activities throughout 2026
