Introduction to Section Badges
To represent your journey through the Scouting sections.
Left Sleeve - My Journey
This part of the uniform recognises your journey in Scouting through
the Achievement Pathways
Looking at this a bit deeper, the focus is on the Special Interest
Areas for that section, as well as Outdoor Adventure Skills and any peak awards
that may have been earned.
Peak Awards
A young person may wear all peak awards they have earned during their
time in Scouting at the top of the left sleeve. These are: Joey Scout Challenge
Award, Grey Wolf Award, Australian Scout Award, Queen’s Scout Award and
Baden-Powell Scout Award.
Special Interest Area Badges
Scouts may wear all Special Interest Area badges earned in the section
they are currently a member. Initially, these may form a hexagon, as viewed on
the diagram. There is no requirement to complete a project in each of the six
Special Interest Areas. A Scout will wear all badges indicating the Special
Interest Area projects they have completed.
Outdoor Adventure Skills
These badges form a 3×3 grid on the left sleeve. Scouts should wear
only the highest achieved Stage in each of the nine broad activity/skill areas
– Bushcraft, Bushwalking, Camping, Alpine, Aquatics, Boating, Cycling,
Paddling, Vertical. Any Stage that is
completed should be recognised with the relevant badge.
Outdoor Adventure Skills Stages follow a
young person through their Scouting journey. As a result, these will need to be
moved or changed over between uniforms.
This is worn on the top of the left sleeve.
Front Panels & Scarf - My Involvement
The front of the uniform is the most viewed area, and as a result, it
presents my involvement in Scouting. This includes:
Australian Flag Badge, Worn above the pocket on the left hand side of the shirt.
World Scout Badge, Worn alongside the Australian Flag badge, above
pocket on left hand side.
Messengers of Peace Ring Badge, Not displayed on this diagram, this
badge is worn around the World Scout badge following the completion of a
Messengers of Peace project.
Years of Service Badges, Worn below the World Scout badge and Australian
Flag badge, these badges display the number of years a youth member has been
part of each section.
Only one badge/number should be worn per section
Unit Leader Badge, Worn on the top flap of the pocket.
Program Essentials Milestones
Worn on the right hand side, these would be approximately in line
with, or just below, the Australian Flag badge worn on the left side.
Event Badge
These badges must be no larger than 75mm x 75mm in size and must have
been approved for wear by your Branch Chief Commissioner, or the National Chief
Commissioner.
Only one badge can be worn in this place at any given point in time.
