3rd Ware Centenary badge


A while ago I said that I would tell you about our centenary badge. Well here it is! It is in the group colours of Green and Black and has the Scout logo on it and our centenary tag line of "3rd Ware 100 Scouting Years". It is being worn by all members of the Group and was given as a keepsake to past members who attended the Museum opening.

How did we get such a fine badge, I hear you ask. Well settle down and let me tell you.

Last year every young person in the Group was invited to design a badge. The shape was already determined, because we wanted to wear it on the point of our scarf and they need to include the words "3rd Ware 100 Scouting Years". We also asked that they used no more than 7 colours. Apart from that the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts had free rein to use their own imagination and creativity.

Each section then collected their own young people's entries and their Leaders took a vote. The design chosen was put forwarded into the final six to represent that section. (Six because the GSL also selected a wildcard one from all the remaining entries that had not been chosen by their own leadership team.)

These six designs were then scanned and blown up to A4 size and displayed on the walls of the Scout Hall. Every young person then cast their own personal vote for one of the finalists. These were emailed to the GSL who tallied them up as they came in and the winner was the design with the most overall individual votes.

In this case it was a Cub called Tiegan. I hope you agree she did a fine job and produced a badge we can be proud of.

  14. Thank you Falcons for your comments; Even though they do not relate directly to this post I have published them because I had fun tonight and enjoyed all your activities.

    For anyone else reading this the Cubs commented as one of their challenges during a very hectic and busy section meeting. Really they should be on the post above this but c'est la vie and it is the commenting that counts, not which post they are on.
