Scouts Heritage St. George's Day Blanket Badge

This Scouts Heritage St. George's Day fun badge is taken from a sketch by Lord Robert Baden-Powell and can be found in the archives at Gilwell Park.

This fabulous badge would make a great addition to a Scouts badge collection or why not sew onto a poncho or camp blanket.

St George’s Day is traditionally a time for Scouts to come together, renew their Promise, and celebrate.

Why do we celebrate St George’s Day?

We celebrate St George’s Day because Baden-Powell chose St George to be the patron saint of Scouts. He wanted St George’s Day to be a time to reflect on the Scout Promise and what it means to be a Scout.
