La CyclOdyssée
Two of the three French Scouters who traveled by bicycle to WSJ 2023 tell us all about their adventure!
Podcast Topics
Scouter Ken is joined by Florian and Antonin – two of the three French Scouters who comprise La CyclOdyssée, who we mentioned briefly in the January 16 episode of Scouting Five – to discuss their 7-month journey to the World Scout Jamboree in Korea.
Because rather than fly from France to get there, they opted instead to ride their bicycles, covering over 15,000 kilometers in 7 months.
You can find links to all of La CyclOdyssée’s social media profiles at their LinkTree. In particular, their Instagram page is well worth a look.

Transatlantic Council
A bit more information about how Scouts BSA' Transatlantic Council is structured, and the role Kandersteg plays in it.
Podcast Topics
Scouter Will, from Scouts BSA’s Transatlantic Council, joins the podcast to discuss the Council and its role in allowing the children of deployed soldiers and diplomats to continue participating in Scouting even when they’re nowhere near the United States.
And as it turns out, Kandersteg International Scout Centre – which they call Camp Alpine – is an integral component of the Council, and their main meeting place for camps.

Battleship
Scouter Paul from the Hudson Explorers explains a fun game his unit plays with paper boats...and fire.
Podcast Topics
Whilst at Kander100, Scouter Ken met up with Scouter Paul from the Hudson Explorers, an Explorer Scout unit based in Sutton Coldfield, just outside of Birmingham. Some of the unit are regular listeners of the podcast, and that little meet & greet turned into an invitation to join them - and a few other contingents from various countries - in a game they called “Battleship”.
“Battleship” begins with the Scouts breaking into teams and folding 20 origami boats. While they’re busy with this, the Scouter set up a rectangular or square area outdoors, which the Scouts spread their boats around once they’ve got them made.
Each team then gets a metal garden spade, a flint & steel, and fifty cotton balls. The rest is fairly self-explanatory: they light each cotton ball in turn with the flint & steel, then use the spade to fling the fireball at an opposing team’s boat.
The team with the most undamaged boats left wins!

Jamboree Debrief
The Kander100 Jamboree was a huge success. World Jamboree 2023...not so much.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss the challenges - to put it mildly - faced by those who attended the 25th World Scout Jamboree in Korea this summer, as well as the response of WOSM and various national contingents to the heat wave and other issues that emerged at the site.
And then the conversation shifts to Kander100 and the experience of the Canadian Contingent thereat, as well as how Ken and his family enjoyed their Swiss vacation.
Also: check out the Scouting Stuff Stuff page! You can order stickers there at the moment...and soon, neckerchiefs and badges will be available as well. Watch our social media for more details!
Shout-Outs
* Samuel Ip was a member of the Hong Kong contingent at Kander100. While his campsite was right next to the Canadians’, he and Scouter Ken didn’t end up crossing paths...but he reached out to say hello and ask for some stickers.
* Scouter Nathalie also reached out to ask for some stickers, and followed up to say she enjoyed listening to the recent Pinkies episode...which happened to feature her daughter!
* And Simon left a five-star review on the website!

Pinkies
Ever wondered what it’s like to be a volunteer at Kandersteg International Scout Centre?
Podcast Topics
Scouter Ken chats with Sam (from Canada) and Laura (from the United States), two “Pinkies” (read: seasonal volunteers) at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC).
Sam and Laura explain what it’s like to be a Pinkie, as well as how to apply for the role. Pinkies serve three-month terms roughly corresponding to the four seasons, and the application process includes a motivation letter, a CV, a picture, and a video explaining why you’d love to volunteer at KISC.
Shout-Outs
A big “thank you” to – who else? – Sam and Laura for agreeing to this interview, to Sam for reaching out to Scouter Ken ahead of Kander100, and to Laura for being a listener to the podcast as well!

Interview with Jack Higgins
An interview with Jack Higgins, the director of the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC).
Podcast Topics
Scouter Ken was at Kander100 (also called KISC100), the large(r) jamboree held to celebrate the centenary of the “permanent mini-jamboree” that the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC) in Switzerland was founded to be.
As it happened, some of the media staff at KISC had heard Episode 137, and asked Scouter Ken if he’d be interested in doing an interview with Jack Higgins, the director of KISC.
Shout-Outs
Many thanks to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC), the media team thereat (especially Myles and Luis) for setting everything up and providing recording gear, and of course Jack Higgins for taking the time to do this interview.

Jamboree Cultural Day
Some brief thoughts on how to prepare your Group (or Contingent) for Cultural Day at whatever Jamboree you’re attending.
Podcast Topics
Cultural Day has become a staple of Jamborees, and it’s important to be prepared for it. As Scout.org notes:
"In the middle of Sunday, each unit puts on a demonstration illustrating the culture of their country, region, or locality. The camp is closed to visitors. This is your opportunity to cook, sing, dance, or offer an experience from your country that will make a memory for your guests.
I remember watching Scouts getting henna tattoos at the India camp, eating amazing kimchi with the Koreans, sampling hákari with Icelanders (think twice about this!), and vegemite with the Australians.
Have your unit throw a party that your guests will remember. Take turns staffing your unit party by wandering around the sub-camp."
Ken and Colin discuss Ken’s own preparations for the Cultural Day taking place at Kander100, including food ideas, games, m…

Kander100
The trials and pitfalls of being a Jamboree Contingent Lead.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss the upcoming Kander100 Jamboree, taking place at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in (where else?) Kandersteg, Switzerland, this summer.
Actually, this episode is mostly a banter/catch-up session, but there is a fun and (potentially) challenging meeting idea for Scouts to be found near the end.
Shout-Outs
First, Scouter George from the 1st Cobble Hill Scout Group wrote in with some follow-up on a podcast review that was discussed previously:
"Thank you for your support of Scouts and Scouters across Canada with your podcast. I hope you get a chance to have Liam join, maybe after his cross-country listening tour?"
If Liam is interested in coming on an episode of the podcast, we’d be happy to have him! It’s always nice to add guest voices.

Saying "Yes" To Your Waitlist
A presentation given on Scouts Canada’s Workplace site, detailing how to say yes to youth waiting to join your Scout Group.
Podcast Topics
This week’s episode comes from a presentation given on Scouts Canada’s new Workplace site (Workplace is Meta’s business product, essentially Facebook for work teams) by Tim Blair of the 11th Seymour Scout Group.
The title of the presentation is "Can you say yes to your waitlist?", and deals with strategies for bringing more youth into your Scout Group even when your registration rolls are currently full.

Group Committee Transition
How do you handle turnover in your Group Committee?
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss how to carry out an effective Group Committee transition. It’s not as easy as just electing a new treasurer or group commissioner; a Group should make sure to have all of the infrastructure in place ahead of time to ensure an orderly handover of documents, email accounts, and other pertinent information and materials.
If a Group has gone through the process of getting itself online, organizations like TechSoup (or TechSoup Canada) can help a Group expand from just having a registered domain into having a full-fledged team and document management solution (e.g. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365)...often for free, or for a vastly reduced non-profit-friendly price. Getting set up with solutions like these can facilitate both easier sharing and storing of important documents and records, but also smoother handovers of same between individuals.

Cross-Country Big Opportunity
Scouter Andrew returns with another discussion of Scouts Canada’s “Big Opportunity”.
Podcast Topics
Scouter Andrew from the 4th Elks Triwood Scout Group (based in Calgary, Alberta) is back this week with another group discussion.
In mid-March, Scouters from across Canada met in Ottawa for a weekend workshop about The Big Opportunity, the grassroots volunteer recruitment and encouragement initiative that the podcast has been covering over the last few episodes. After this workshop, Andrew sat down with a few Scouters he met there – Emma, Alicia, and Anna – for another discussion of The Big Opportunity and how to make it work. Subscribe

The entire conversation was recorded, and Andrew generously provided the discussion to serve as an episode of the podcast.
So if, after Episode 130, you find you have some questions about how The Big Opportunity can apply to your Group, or what it even looks like to be implemented at a Group level, the discussion that forms the core of this episode might offer some insight...and some ideas. Shout-Outs

More of What We Already Do
“Already know you, that which you need.”
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin close out the year with some reflections on the concept of doing a good turn, and how Scouts Canada -- in its efforts to find new ways to reach out to prospective members — might well have everything it needs already. Is it a question of pivoting the movement in some way, or is it a question of re-emphasising the values the movement already seeks to inculcate in its members? Shout-Outs

Volunteers, Redux
Finding and keeping volunteers: the ever-present challenge every Scout Group faces.
Podcast Topics
Ken is joined by Scouter Jonathan for this episode, to revisit a topic that was discussed as recently as Episode 121: how do you find volunteers for your Scout Group? And once you’ve done so...how do you retain them?
As you might well imagine, there’s no one-size-fits-all, cut-and-dried solution. It’s generally not a winning strategy to try and force the issue by way of ultimatums, though at times it may be necessary to trade someone’s commitment to train up as a Scouter for a “reserved” spot in the program for their child.
But once you’ve got those volunteers, how do you retain them? How do you keep them coming back? In part, this will depend on running a great program; parental engagement will follow youth engagement, in most cases. And in part, this will also depend on giving each Scouter the chance to shine in the role, to bring their knowledge and talents into the…

Meet the Parents II
Revisiting the how-tos of a parent meeting.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin revisit a topic from almost half the podcast ago — Episode 67, published in September of 2018, specifically — and offer some thoughts on how to hold a successful parent meeting.
You can find some interesting blog articles about what needs to be communicated to parents, and how, and exactly how you go about it with the parents of youth in your Group will depend on all sorts of factors. But in summary, here’s the gist of what a successful parent meeting should include:
* Meetings, rather than one meeting. The 59th, at least, has had better success by ditching the “one big meeting” in favour of having the Group Commissioner come out to the first or second meetings for each Section.
* Set fundraising expectations early.
* Make the pitch for volunteers, both parent helpers and Scouters.
* Explain the badge program.
* Explain the uniform.

Travel Woes
Traveling by air these days is...tricky.
Podcast Topics
Whoa...where did June go?
After too-long a hiatus, Ken and Colin sit down for another catch-up discussion, and also take a look at two recent stories that have come out concerning Scout Groups whose travel plan disruptions have made the national news.
The first story is that of a Scout Group who ended up stuck in Zurich due to incomplete data in the ArriveCAN mobile app. The second is that of a different Scout Group who ended up camping out in the Vancouver airport after their planned flight from there to Whitehorse was cancelled.
Two very different stories, but both illustrate the challenges that Scout Groups will likely be facing for a while yet as they plan and carry out adventures...especially the sorts of adventures that require air travel! Shout-Outs
As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience. If you're listening to us on…

Encore Presentation: So, You're Going Camping...
A discussion of packing lists: what to include on them, and why they're important. Podcast Topics
Parker rejoins the podcast and chats with Ken about packing lists. Because while it's nice to think that Scouts might be mature enough to know what to bring along on a trip, and while it might be tempting to test one's Scouts by making them suffer through the consequences of forgetting some key piece of gear, the truth of the matter is that just about everyone — even adults! — can and will benefit from having a list to refer to when the time comes to put together all the gear one will need for an adventure.
Scouts BSA has published some excellent, if generalized, warm weather and cool weather packing lists; Ken's own Group has also developed a list that it maintains internally and periodically updates.
Important Note: By all means, make use of the above-linked documents...but only use them as templates. Always pack according to your troop's needs, and your individual needs as well…

PSA - Regarding the Ukraine Conflict
WOSM has issued a statement on Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine.
Podcast Topics
The World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM) has issued a statement on the Russian-instigated conflict in Ukraine.
For our part, we condemn Russia’s aggression (inasmuch as that means anything), and we pray for a speedy resolution to these events. We cannot begin to imagine the fear with which Ukrainian parents must be living, as they continue to send their children to school...and potentially into harm’s way.
And we hope that all Scouts in the country, especially, are safe and remain unharmed by the conflict. We are also confident that when the time comes and the need arises, they will be there to aid their communities in the ways that Scouts do best. Subscribe

It's a Big (Scouting) World After All
How has your exposure to Scouts from other countries influenced your worldview?
Podcast Topics
The Baden-Powell Faceook page isn’t being updated anymore, but back when it was still actively being posted to, the team behind it posed an interesting question: “Scouting is a brotherhood – a scheme which, in practice, disregards differences of class, creed, country and colour, through the undefinable spirit that pervades it: the spirit of God’s gentleman.” - #BadenPowell
How has your exposure to Scouts from other countries influenced your worldview?
Ken and Colin attempt to give an answer! Shout-Outs
A first shout-out this week goes to TheStrider, a Scouter with the 2nd Smiths Falls group, who has a sweet thing going with his local Subway establishment, and who has been working to get his group moved onto a shared Microsoft Office 365 non-profit tenancy.
Additionally, Dan Tapley’s council, Battlefields Council, has partnered with Canadian Blood Services via their Partner…

Claim the Flame
Scouts Canada has a new, themed competition for its members...starting this month!
Podcast Topics
This week, Scouter Ken is joined by Scouts Canada National Communications Director Scouter Mike (why yes, he’s back!) and Scouter Sandra, from Scouts Canada’s Program Support Team, to discuss the upcoming Claim the Flame competition. This is yet another competition that Scout groups within Canada are encouraged to participate in; its emphasis will be getting youth to think about how to keep active and find adventure in winter...and how to do so safely. Which, handily, ties in to the Winter Skills Outdoor Adventure Skills badge. Shout-Outs
Scouter Mike would like to thank Tim Fountain, Rubene Desousa, Joe Vautour, Ann Carr, Anita Bergman, Anissa Stamboli, and Svetlana Kurmeleva for all of their assistance in bringing Claim the Flame to fruition.

Finding Volunteers
How do you attract volunteers to Scouting?
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin attempt to tackle a question that almost every section of every Scout Group has to deal with at some point: how to handle a shortage of qualified volunteers — whether you call them Scouters, Leaders, or Cub/Scoutmasters — and how to go about attracting new volunteers to the program.
It’s going to be hard to start; that’s pretty much a given. Running program when you’re short on people is difficult, and you’ll likely have to get a bit creative; maybe you’ll need to borrow Scouters from another section within your Group, or maybe you’ll need to borrow Scouters from another Group entirely. Maybe you’ll need to schedule activities that see two sections come together in one space, so that Scouters can be shared between sections.
But the important thing is to find ways to keep running a program for the youth...and then go all-in on that program. Do whatever fun and crazy things cross your mind, or…

Get Your Group Online
These days, it really is quite imperative - for both growth and ease of contact - that a Scout Group have some kind of online presence.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin — recording live and in public! — discuss the importance of Scout groups having some sort of online presence, and then for two reasons.
Even having something like a Facebook Page for a group — or a website with a contact form — enables members of the community to find your group and get in touch easily, if (say) they have questions about the program or need a little guidance as to how to get their child signed up. This also enables other members of Scouting to get in touch with your group easily, if (again, say) they’ll be visiting the area and are looking for an opportunity to link up.
Beyond that, though, having an online presence can help drive recruitment, and maybe even fundraising, for your group. This is the way that younger parents — and youth themselves — communicate, research, and reach out; if…

Camp Fuel(s)
Which camp fuel is best? Turns out, that’s a loaded question.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin — live from the garage, this time! — discuss the various fuels that are available for use in things like camp stoves, lanterns, and heaters, and how they compare to each other as regards things like weight, cold temperature performance, ease of use, and more.
It will not surprise the listener that there is a fairly large amount of controversy in the outdoors/camping enthusiast communities about which fuel type is best. That being said, Ken and Colin don’t come down wholly in favour of any one fuel in this episode, for reasons which will hopefully become apparent. Shout-Outs
Firstly, a somewhat overdue shout-out to Chuck Fraser, who followed up with us after his prior shout-out regarding the knife safety worksheets he helped put together.

A new Scouting program has been launched in the UK!
Podcast Topics
Ken and Scouter Corey (Hawkeye) discuss the newly-launched Squirrel Scouts program that The Scout Association in the UK has brought online. It’s a brand-new program — which has been a pilot project for the last two years, and was based off of a Northern Ireland “feeder” program that wasn’t officially a Scouting section but encouraged youth to join up once they were old enough for Beavers — aimed at 4, 5, and 6 year old youth...especially in communities that have been traditionally under-served by Scouting programs in the past. Shout-Outs
Firstly, to Scouter Matthew, for sending in a photo of his daughter — a White Tail Beaver — wearing their group’s custom-designed woggle: The recent episode on the woggle prompted me to get a picture of the unique woggle that our group has been using for many years. I couldn’t get an exact year that it was introduced. For a long time they were cut from pine, but t…

Why, exactly, does Scouting use the fleur-de-lis as its symbol?
Podcast Topics
Why does Scouting use the fleur-de-lis as its symbol? Wasn't the organization founded in England? Don't laugh; that's a question we've gotten before, and probably will again. At some point, a curious Scout — or their parent — will want to know just why Scouting the world over uses the symbol that it does.
Ken and Colin take a look at the history of the fleur-de-lis symbol, from ancient history to its adoption, by Baden-Powell, as the symbol of the Scouting movement.
Question to the Listener: If we didn't have the current logo, the fleur-de-lis, what would be an acceptable logo for Scouting?

Woggles
Neckerchief slides. Rings. Turk’s Heads. Whatever you call them, these handy little fasteners have an interesting history.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin — in their first in-person recording in over a year (the last one having taken place on or about March 12, 2020) — discuss woggles, the ubiquitous neckerchief fasteners used by Scouts the world over, examining the history of the word “woggle” and the emergence of their use.
Particular focus is given to the Gilwell Woggle, which is awarded to Wood Badge recipients in some countries. This distinctive — but easily-made — woggle is fashioned using a Turk’s Head Knot (also called a Sailor’s Knot), a mathematically intriguing knot that might have had its origins as a means of denoting the king spoke on ships wheels.

Knife Safety
We’ve talked about knives, their importance in Scouting, and their utility as tools...but how do you use one safely?
Podcast Topics
Building off of Episode 74 - What's In a Knife?, Ken and Colin return again to the topic of one of the most valuable Scouting tools...this time with an eye toward how to use a knife safely. Much of this episode is based off of the knowledge requirements of the Knife Permit that Scouts in Scouts Canada can earn; the guide to earning the permit is well worth a read as a resource for teaching knife safety. Shout-Outs
One shout-out goes out to David Walker with the 3rd Blueberry Scout Group in Alberta; he invited us to attend an open house at Scoutland, a Scouts Canada lease located on Chickakoo Lake west of Edmonton. The open house takes place on July 24th, beginning at 10:00 AM; if you've never checked Scoutland out, consider doing so!

Catching up with some emails (and voicemail) from listeners!
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin, not having a specific topic to cover this week, take some time to respond to some messages that listeners of the podcast have sent in.
First up, we hear from J.P. Toruksni and the 36th Ottawa Cubs, whose outdoor winter challenge came to a close a few months ago. J.P. sent us a voicemail, which you’ll hear in this episode; you too can send us messages in this way, and we’ll happily work them in!
Next, we hear from Dan Tapley, who sent us an email with some comments on our episode about sleeping bags.
And finally, from across the Atlantic Ocean, we hear from Grainne O’Carroll, who writes in from the Banba Cubs of the 8th Port Sea Scouts, based out of Dun Laoghaire in Ireland. Shout-Outs
In a way, this whole episode is a shout-out, to J.P. Toruksni, Dan Tapley, and Grainne O’Carroll. Thanks again, all of you, for getting in touch with us!
And, as always, a big thank you to the folk…

All-Canadian Popcorn
Scouts Canada’s annual popcorn fundraiser is looking a bit different this year...which is a very good thing!
Podcast Topics
For the second time in a row, Scouter Mike rejoins the podcast to discuss Scouts Canada’s new popcorn fundraising campaign with Scouter Ken. We’ve talked about popcorn before on the podcast, and Mike has often been the voice thereof...but in 2021, the fundraiser is markedly different.
For one, there’s a new supplier: Trail’s End is out, and Papa Jack’s is in! That means that this year, Scout Popcorn in Canada is 100% Canadian-supplied; Papa Jack’s is a family-owned business based out of Ottawa, Ontario. The reason for the change is complicated, but Trail’s End will apparently continue to honour the popcorn scholarships that were given as incentives in previous years...so that’s good.
You can check out the selection of products at ScoutPopcorn.ca, the official fundraiser website. The selection of flavours and products is different than in pr…

Sleeping Bags
The right sleeping bag will make — or break — a camping experience.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss the all-important sleeping bag. Even more than the extra socks that Ken never shuts up about, having the right sleeping bag for a camp will make or break the whole camping experience; a sleeping bag that isn’t well-cared-for, or which isn’t appropriate for the weather you’ll be camping in, will make for miserable sleeping...which will make for a miserable camp.
Topics covered include:
* The importance of a sleeping pad (air mattress or foamie)
* The different designs of sleeping bag (rectangular, barrel, and mummy)
* Temperature ratings of sleeping bags (don’t take a 7 C bag out in -10 C weather, and don’t take a -18 C bag out in +20 C weather)
* Sleeping bag liners (both to improve temperature rating, and to help keep the bag clean)
* Care and storage of sleeping bags
* And more! Shout-Outs

Cooking Over Embers
A fun method of campfire cooking that’s easy to try...but tricky to get right.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss a particular sort of campfire cooking: placing foil-wrapped food directly on the embers after the fire has died down some. It’s an easy concept to grasp: you wrap your food up in foil, wait for the fire to burn down so that there’s a nice bed of hot coals, and the place the food directly on the embers for however long it takes to cook through (typically, turning it once).
Of course, each step in the process presents certain challenges, and it’s easy to screw up along the way. For best results, you’ll likely want to let the fire burn for at least an hour, and you’ll want to make it a good-sized fire to start; the goal is to have a large bed of embers across almost the entire bottom of whatever fire pit you’re using.
It’s also important to wrap your food in at least a couple layers of foil, not just one; this creates a kind of double-boiler effect that…

Field Book Nostalgia
There’s an argument to be made for having a physical copy of important outdoor survival information.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin discuss the venerable Field Book for Canadian Scouting, once a staple of a Scout’s program materials in Scouts Canada’s program, and now an often-pricey collector’s item. This episode isn’t intended as an endorsement of any of the below-mentioned materials; it’s more a curated list of works that Ken and Colin have come across over the years.
The Field Book may be out of print, but there are several reasonable alternatives available. Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts might find some utility in Ranger Rick’s Kids Guide series of books. Ultimate Survival Technologies’ Learn & Live Cards are pocket-sized reference cards for various survival concepts. The SAS Survival Guide might be great for Scouts (and older youth). And Ken and Colin would be remiss if they didn’t also mention Mors Kochanski’s various writings. The 2014 BSA Fieldbook is also…

Another National Virtual Campfire
Sit back and enjoy!
Podcast Topics
Scouter Mike rejoins us to discuss Scouts Canada the 3rd National Virtual Campfire that Scouts Canada will be hosting next month, on February 27th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Which, as it happens, is the last day of Scout/Guide Week this year. Of course, they need the usual collection of skits, songs, cheers, and jokes — especially skits, which have tended to be in short supply in previous Virtual Campfires.
But they are also looking for short video submissions from “youth co-hosts”, which should take the following form:
* Videos should be 15-20 seconds in length
* Ideally, videos should be shot “on location” in a place of local significance, or of personal significance to the youth
* Youth should introduce themselves, mention their troop & section, and then introduce the location and discuss its significance briefly
The deadline for “youth co-host” video submissions is February 12th, 2021, and the deadline for skit/song/cheer/j…

Concerning Badges
Why, yes, we do need them.
Podcast Topics
Ken and Colin kick off 2021 by discussing...well, after an extended amount of banter about holidays and a few other topics, the discussion eventually settles onto the history of badges.
Call them what you want: crests, merit badges, personal achievement badges, outdoor adventure badges...they’re a nigh-universal element of Scouting programs that can trace their history back to the movement’s founding. Even in Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell discusses badges at various points...in particular, the Scout Badge, a two-part crest that combines a scroll (which reads “Be Prepared”) and an arrowowhead/fleur de-lis. This badge signified progression in the Scouting program; a newly-invested Second Class Scout would receive the scroll, and then later the arrowhead upon being prompted to First Class.
And badges are used, in part, as a means of signifying a Scout’s progression even to this day. But, of course, that’s not all they’re used…
