Just recently we’ve been having issues getting hold of badges for the sections in the Group. Our local supplier hasn’t paid their bills to the Division, so they haven’t been supplied with any more badges.
To get round this problem, one of the Assistant Scout Leaders in the District has offered to be the District’s Badge Secretary. This means that once a month we place an order with him and he gets the badges for us.
I collected our first order last night. It amounted to over 700 badges for the three sections at a cost of £120! WOW! I knew we were getting a bit behind as we couldn’t source them, but that was quite impressive. The thing is the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts are earning more awards and I know there will be another big order at the end of the month. This proves the kids are working hard at the moment which is very impressive.
