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 shape of the Scout Badge means that a Scout can point the right way in life as truly as does a compass in the field.

The eagle and sheild stand for freedom and a Scout's readiness to defend that freedom.



The scroll bearing the Scout motto is turned up at the ends as a reminder that a Scout smiles as he does his duty.

The knot at the bottom of the scroll represents the Scout slogan,
"Do a Good Turn Daily."
