Varsity Scouts utilize the same advancement program as do Boy Scouts and may continue to work on the requirements for ranks and merit badges. They may also receive recognition offered through the 50-miler award; mile Swim, BSA; and other BSA recognitions.

Awards available only to Varsity Scouts include the Varsity Scout letter and the Denali Award.

Once a youth has earned his letter, he can earn activity pins for each quarterly program feature in which he participates. The team defines the requirements and at the end of the quarter, each participant receives the pin to place on the letter.
