Bring A Friend Badge
This achievement badge may only be purchased by an Adult Leader or Authorised Unit Representative.
Bring a Friend to your Joey, Cub, Scout, Venturer or Rover night and you can earn the Bring a Friend Badge.
You might even want to organise a Bring a Friend night and have several new members all attend on the same night.
Then you can make a fun night out of it and grow your Group as well.
How to earn:
-
To be awarded to a youth member who brings a friend (not a current member) to at least 3 meetings/activities during which they (and their leaders) teach the friend a simple Scouting skill from that section and the friend learns something about the next section, which could simply be who they are, what they do etc
-
The friend does not have to join Scouting for the youth member to earn the badge we rely on our program being exciting enough to encourage them to join
The new round 6.5cm badge is a blanket badge and is not worn on the uniform.
What about additional friends?
-
A youth member may earn additional badges, if they ‘bring more friends’. There is only one version of the badge at this stage but if it is popular, we will add more colours in the future
