If you want to wear an occasional badge on your uniform, you have a new group, a new badge for the group or District, then you need approval from the County Commissioner. It’s a fairly simple process; just send the design in. If it fails you will get the feedback. Though, to help you, here are some pointers…

• Occasional badges must feature the Scout logo
• Don’t use the WOSM logo
• Keep the design simple
• Use upper case letters if possible
• Use colours that complement each other so that the lettering is easily readable
• Use adventurous and exciting images
• Use good contrast images

Follow Scout brand guidelines.This is the preferred Scout logo, with adequate spacing – The logo must always be one colour. Usually, this will be Scout purple or black on a light background or white on a dark background.  Occasionally the logo could be in a Scout Secondary colour.
