Scout Badges
In this game, the player’s goal is to follow in the footsteps of Grizzly McGuffin by earning all twelve Scout Badges. To do this, the player completes different tasks around Camp JumpStart (called JumpScout Missions). By completing these quests, the player earns pieces of a badge. When the player earns the last piece of their badge and the Super Gem (earned by completing all of the learning games), they can continue their adventure.

The 12 Scout Badges are (in order):


 * 1) The Friendship Badge
 * 2) The Teamwork Badge
 * 3) The Helpfulness Badge
 * 4) The Dependability Badge
 * 5) The Nature Badge
 * 6) The Cheerfulness Badge
 * 7) The Adventure Badge
 * 8) The Sharing Badge
 * 9) The Politeness Badge
 * 10) The Fairness Badge
 * 11) The Bravery Badge
 * 12) The Ultimate Scout Badge

Game Mechanics

 * The Map - Allows for the player to teleport to any given location or character.
 * Net - Allows the player to catch flying things, such as hoverflies and leaves.
 * Mallet - Allows the player to break rocks.

Trivia

 * There was originally going to be a badge focused around the concept of "saving". It depicted a piggy bank and a gold coin.
 * In the JumpStart World trailer, this badge appears to have taken the place of what would be the Sharing Badge.
 * This badge was also featured in game via Frankie’s Uncle Sam styled poster on a billboard.
 * However, both “sharing” and “saving” were mentioned in the Kindergarten Campfire Song, so it is not clear which of the badges was replaced.
