While St George’s Day might seem like a distant dot on the calendar, two East Yorkshire Scout districts are already showing us how it’s done when it comes to planning ahead – and doing it with style!
The brilliant teams at Blacktoft Beacon and Beverley & Hornsea Districts have already placed their order for a brand new St George’s Day badge, months ahead of April. But what makes their approach so clever? Let’s dive in.
🛡️ A Badge with Purpose – and Longevity
These districts haven’t just whipped up a one-off design for a single year. Oh no – they’ve gone timeless.
✔️ No Year on the Badge
That’s right – no date, no expiry. By leaving the year off, they’ve created a design that can be proudly reused year after year. It’s budget-smart, sustainable, and a great way to avoid last-minute rushes before each April.
✔️ A Design Full of Meaning
The districts worked together on a badge concept that reflects their identity and Scouting pride, and we had the joy of turning that vision into a lasting memory. The design is recognisable and meaningful – a real keepsake for those who earn it.
🧵 Why Pre-Ordering Badges Early is a Game-Changer
Ordering well ahead of time:
- Avoids any potential delays with production
- Allows for creative design time
- Gives peace of mind for event organisers
Basically, it’s a win all round.
