Partner Organizations

The Barbados Boy Scouts Association has offered purposeful development opportunities to Bajan males for more than 100 years. That offering was enhanced by becoming a sub-licensed partner of the Award in 2017. The Scout Association is a key partner for the Award in its efforts to increase the reach of Award programme on the island.

In 2019 The Girl Guides Association became the newest organisation to be granted a sub-licence to offer the Award. This was a formal step in a long-standing partnership. The Guides for decades have supported and partnered with the Award to enhance personal development opportunities for the young women of Barbados.

As the youth arm of the Barbados Defence Force, the Barbados Cadet Corps is set up to provide challenging activities and military discipline to create model citizens. The Barbados Cadet Corps was the first organisation to be sub-licensed to deliver the Award in the Eastern Caribbean. This agreement was made in 2015. As a partner youth organisation the Corps is able to use the Award as an incentive for continued participation among the older ranks.
