Restricted badges

 

Group B badges

The following badges can be obtained through county channels only. They are only available to volunteers within the county and your eligibility to make your purchase will be checked before dispatching any badges. Orders placed that are not eligible for purchase will be refunded, but a £2.50 admin fee will be retained per order.

Badges can now be ordered and paid for using our online system. It is simpler for our treasurer and badge secretary if orders are paid in this way, and you'll get them faster too. If you are not able to do this then please email [email protected].

The badges available in this way are listed below. There is a charge of £2.50 per order for postage and packaging. Some badges are kindly paid for by county or region, however they still incur a postage charge.

​Some awards have cloth or enamel badge alternatives. These are not meant as a replacement for the official badges, but can be purchased on behalf of the individual who may wish to have a woven badge for their camp blanket or an enamelled badge for their badge tab. These items are marked with a *.
