Personal Challenge is one of the 9 challenge badges which make up the Gold Chief Scouts Award (the highest award a scout can earn).
To complete the award, you need to complete two challenges chosen in conjunction with your section leader, bring back some evidence to scouts to show that you've done them and the badge is yours. You could for example chose to earn your next distance badge at swimming and bring in the badge to prove it.
Some example challenges can be found below. If you want to make a start (or need to show off what you've been up to), you can contact your section leader by emailing scouts@4thwashingtonscouts.org.uk.
