I want now…

I think the bike is a kona ?

Oh I read it as badgers 😳

at least it’s a singlespeed.

nope its definately a GT look at the seat-stay/tube junction

his helmet looks odd

Why’s he got a haggis in his bottle cage?

Could be a Saracen 😉

When I were a lad, amongst other badges, I had my backwoodsman badge and pioneer badge.

It was assumed that you could ride a **** bike, but not necessarily, that you could survive on your own in the wilderness. Kids today eh ?

When I were a lad, amongst other badges, I had my backwoodsman badge and pioneer badge.

I earned a backdoorsman badge too! That was perhaps the most difficult badge, but the scoutmaster seemed very enthusiastic and was very keen to help. I’m still very grateful to him for that.

Well done Charlie. I got my version of the badge on a jamboree with the brownies. Thank you Brown Owl.

I got mine living in the wilderness…………my scout leader was old school.

Gawd bless you Skip.

have a look here spoof scout badges 😉

MrsMCTD is a Guide leader….they now have a chocolate badge, in 1908 they had an aircraft maintenance badge.

Explain the emancipation of women again for me?

Awesome

in 1908 they had an aircraft maintenance badge.

😕 I’m surprised the scouts found any aircraft which needed maintenance in 1908 :

The first powered flight in Britain was made on 16 October 1908 by American Sam Cody

What were maintaining…….hot air balloons ?

Maybe it was 1918 – I get my dates muddled as I am SO interested in hearing about the Guides……

When i was a scout i was SERIOUSLY interested in hearing about the guides… 😆

They should combine the two and do a “choclate wings” badge.

I don’t believe any of you were allowed into the scouts, if any of you know your pledge/oath, then lets here it?

Anyway! kids now adays aren’t that bad off, they’ve got the muggers club innit ❓

Upon my honour, i promise to do my duty, to God and to the Queen and to keep the Scout Law. 😛

looks like a 69er to me

Coolest badge I got was Master at Arms.

Right – this is a bit sad, but I’ve just gone and dug out, and photographed my old Cubs jumper – my folks found it when they moved house five or so years ago, and took great delight in presenting me with it, along with the benefit of their witty comments…

As you can see, I was a sixer, so don’t take the p1ss or I’ll make you run round the hall five times.

I thought it was Upon my honour, i promise to do my duty to God and to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law.

I think my mum has still got my scout uniform in the wardrobe in my old bedroom.
EDIT: I’m 37 so thats been there for 20+ years

theatre, painting, badminton and 2 hobby horses?
no sailor badges there big boy?

I’m almost 44 so it was 30 years ago!

P.S. i made it to the dizzy heights of Patrol Leader (Snipe Patrol, so, so wanted to be Eagle or Kestrel but i got the bloody wading bird!)

Anyone get the Chief Scout Award? Rode across the Penines for mine ( on a road bike, sorry ), also got the Patrol Activity Award for which I got a fancy metal woggle. The badges certainly look better now, but they do have to suffer Bear Grylls as Chief Scout.

I did one that was a diamond pattern, can’t remember what it was called but it encompassed a lot of lesser badges i seem to remember…

I’ve got a load of old scout badges sitting in a drawer 1950’s i think,been there for ages.Was meaning to chuck them on ebay[ 🙄 everything ends up on ebay]seems certain badges/awards can be worth hundreds of £££’s

Wow I was patrol leader of Snipe just like dwarf. Snipes are cool very difficult to shoot at apparently 😯

I got my Chief Scouts Challenge, got a fancy enameled belt buckle for that. Walked round the Isle of Wight to get it.

I think Bear Grylls is a good thing for the scouts, certainly better than an ex blue peter presenter. You might find him insufferable, but the kids are bound to love him.

Tuesday Pack – we thought we were the SAS.

‘we don’t need no stinking badges’

What films that from?…..honestly I can’t recall.
