Describe the Scout Badge
The badge is shaped like a north point on an old compass. The design
resembles an arrowhead or a trefoil - a flower with three leaves. It is
also known by the French name fleur-de-lis, which means lily or iris flower.
It is the basic shape of the badges used by Scout organizations in other countries,
too.
The three points of
the trefoil stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. |

There are two stars on
the badge. They symbolize truth and knowledge. |
|
The eagle and sheild
stand for freedom and a Scout's readiness to defend that freedom. |
The knot at the bottom
of the scroll represents the Scout slogan, |
