Explorers Badge Placement

Badges should be sewn onto the Explorer Shirt or Blouse. All young people of Explorer age who participate in the Explorer Scout Young Leaders programme will be expected to wear the Explorers uniform. Explorer Scouts who have completed the Explorer Belt Badge or Young Leader Missions are also entitled to wear the Explorer Belt Buckle or Young Leader Belt Buckle as appropriate.

If you’re attached to the Group as a Young Leader, you should wear the Group Scarf (Necker). You can either choose to wear just the Group Scarf, or both your Group Scarf and your Explorer Unit Scarf, if you have one.
