Membership Badge

Membership Badge

The membership badge, also known as the World Scout Emblem and the World Membership Badge, is worn by Scouts and Scouters around the world to indicate their membership. This is the first badge that all new members will attempt once they joined us. All new members must fulfill the requirements of the membership badge before they be considered for investiture. Only after investiture will members be entitled to wear the green beret, membership badge and our group scarf on their uniform.
