Scouts Badge Placement

This page shows you where your badges should be placed on your Scouts uniform.

Notes

  • Badges on sleeves should be centred on the outside of the sleeve, not facing forwards as the diagram suggests.
  • For Staged Activity badges, only the highest level award for each activity should be worn.
  • For Leadership Stripes, only the highest level should be worn.

When moving up between Squirrels/Beavers/Cubs/Scouts:

  • the highest level of Staged Activity badge,
  • the highest level of Joining In badge,
  • the highest level of Chief Scout’s Award
  • can be transferred to the new uniform.
HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
