The INSIGNIA

We said that the Scout uniform is a symbol of democracy and that it places every young people/adult at the same level with the others. Even among Scouts and leaders, however, a certain degree of respect and regard for each other should be properly observed. Hence, the use of badges and insignia.


Through the use of badges and insignia:

  1. We are able to distinguish the position of Scouts form one another. During a Scout meeting, a scouter in uniform enters the room. You recognize him to be a Scouter because he is wearing the Scout Uniform. But how can you tell his rank or office? Through the badges and insignia he wears, of course.
  2. We are able to give recognition to Scouts who qualify for the various advancement ranks. Badges and insignia, like th Uniform itself, are not absolutely necessary. But they are desirable because they give you a form of recognition for the efforts you have exerted and/or extended.
  3. We can identify the institutional group/representation of the Scout, e.g. school, district, council, region, etc.
  4. We can identify the National Scout Organization affiliation of the Scout; Scout Asso. of Japan, Scouts Australia, Boy Scouts of America, etc.
  5. We can identify the name of the Scout.
  6. We are identified with the World Organization of the Scout Movement – World Brotherhood.
  7. We can identify/promote Scouting activities we attend through the temporary (activity) patches.
  8. We promote nationalism and love of our country through our flag in the uniform.

    Being a scout was one of the best times in my life.. I put my son in it and he ended up joining the army and having an entire career out of it. It kept him busy and oiut of trouble. It was wonderful

    may i suggest to include images pertinent to this page to make it more informative (e.g. the insignia – must show bsp insignia with explanation of the whole symbol).

    if i’m not mistaken, the anahaw awards are still used. the application form is readily available in all councils.
