History of the Award

In the Movement's early years, Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouts, awarded a Silver Wolf to Scouts for their outstanding service and value to the Movement. As the Silver Wolf was a British National Award, Baden-Powell was later asked to create a special award to recognise this service. This led to the establishment of the Bronze Wolf Award in 1935.
