The Boys’ Brigade has launched a new badge to be awarded to young people commemorating the centenary of WW1.

The badge is based on the design of the First World War National Service Badge issued between 1914 and 1918. The aim of the badge is for young people to understand something of our history, to explore the concepts of conflict and peace and to provide opportunities for social action.

The badge is available to be awarded to any young person member of the Brigade by participating in an age appropriate activity related to the First World War. The awarding of the badge is at the discretion of the local Company.

The badge will be available from BB Supplies until the end of the 2018/19 session, but can be gained only once by a young person. The Executive is looking at the current badge layout and will determine at its next meeting where the badge will be worn.

There will also be a plain silver badge that can be purchased and worn out of uniform. The badges are available to order from BB Supplies from April onwards.
