Background
Almost all badges are now made from cloth and are sewn onto the uniform shirt. In general, there are four types of badges worn by members of Scouting
- Group identity - Scouts belong to sub-divisions within their national organisations, and wear badges which identify which Scout Groups, Scout Districts, Scout Councils, or other divisions;
- Progressive awards - each section of Scouting has a number of long-term award programmes which reward the core principles of Scoutcraft, service, and adventure[1]
- Activity or proficiency awards - Scouts are able to undertake a large number of activities and, on completion of set criteria, are awarded recognition for these activities
- Special/event badges - from time to time, Scouts are able to wear special event badges, for example, to celebrate the Scouting 2007 Centenary
