Why do Scouts Have a Fleur de Lis - The Story Behind the Scouts Emblem.
The Scout symbol is one of the best known global ‘brands’. It’s often known as the arrowhead or fleur-de-lis, but the origins of one of the world's best-known icons can be confusing.
The symbol’s name changes depending on the country, with some preferring the name arrowhead to fleur-de-lis, with its traditional royal connections. Others call it the fleur-de-lis, due to the arrowhead's military connections.
In the early days, following criticisms that the symbol was too militaristic, Baden-Powell renamed the symbol after the heraldic fleur-de-lis, a stylised lily symbolic of peace and purity.
Baden-Powell further explained:
'The Scout’s badge was originally adapted from the North point of the compass, signifying that a Scout was able to point the way as truly as the needle of a compass.’ BP.
As Scouts spread around the world, so did the story of the iconic badges' development. Whatever it’s called, it brings Scouts together in a sense of unity and friendship.
