In the former CSI programme, in addition to merit badges, the programme has a progress award scheme consisting of five awards. The first award is the Tracker Award. It is completed before a Scout is invested. It requires Scouts to have a basic knowledge of Scoutcraft (navigation, ropework and cooking), show a commitment to their patrol and troop and to understand certain aspects of Scouting (uniform, promise, law, award scheme, Scouting trail etc.). The tracker award badge (a green diamond with a stag on it) is the first badge a Scout can earn. After this Scouts can continue the award scheme.
