Badges on the Uniform
You may view the position of the Scout Badges on the ScoutBase website. Badges should be sewn on, not glued, and look best when the thread used is the same colour as the border of the badge. The first badges you will be awarded once invested are:
- World wide Membership badge
- Greater London North County Badge
- Southgate District Badge
- 6th Southgate (Christ Church) Name Tape
- Moving on award (if you have come up from cubs or Brownies)
- Patrol Badge (Hawks, Falcons, Kestrels, Merlins and Eagles)

Activity Badges
There are 70 activity badges for Scouts to gain. A few of these will be done as a Troop but it is intended that the majority be achieved by the Scouts in their own time.
If you are interested in doing a badge then please see a leader as soon as possible or contact us. There are three reasons for this. Firstly, many of them involve improving over time and we therefore need to see 'before' and 'after'. Secondly, we need to find a suitable instructor / assessor. Thirdly, we need to know which badges to order!
With such a wide range of badges, we obviously do not have the skills necessary in the leader team to be able to guide and assess everything available. In some cases it will be possible to get an instructor at your local club or school to assess the badge for you. In other cases, the badges simply require you to bring in a relevant certificate. If neither of these are appropriate then we can organise a suitable external assessor. If the badge is being assessed by someone outside the Troop then we will produce a form for you to get signed and bring back. A leader will look at the form and discuss with you what you have done. Again, please see a leader before you start working for any badge.
You may view the Requirements of the Scout Activity Badges on the ScoutBase website.
Badges Achieved
There are a number of different badges that we have achieved as a troop and individually and we hope to achieve much more!
Forms
Forms are available at the bottom of this page. These forms can be used when external assessors (e.g. club instructors, private tutors) are used to assess badges. The forms are available in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format only. If you wish to save them, please right click and choose "Save Target As..." or your browser's equivalent.
