Notes for leaders

• Joint events should be jointly organised—simply being in the same place at the same time does not necessarily constitute a joint activity! Please bear this in mind before applying for badges and make sure the activity is in the spirit of the badge.
• When the activity has been completed you may apply to the administrator for badges using the application form. Both Scout District Commissioner and the Guide Division Commissioners should endorse the form.
• Please follow the instructions on the application form
• Red will be awarded for 1 activity, Silver and Gold Badges will be awarded for 4 and 10 activities respectively. Please note Only one badge should be worn at a time and only one of each badge will be issued to
• any one person.
