SES

The SES badge may be earned through engagement with the SES.

The requirements for each section will vary, with sustained engagement required of members in the Venturer Scout and Rover Scout sections. Read the badge requirements here (summary also below)

Once a youth member has completed the requirements for their section, their leader can purchase the badge from the Scout shop and present the badge. As each section has different requirements, once achieved in one section, it is not automatically translated to the next section. It becomes a camp blanket keepsake. If achieving this badge is for a subsequent section, the badge is awarded again and is placed on the uniform again.

Where is it worn?

It may be worn on the right sleeve. It can be worn alongside any other achievement badge which qualifies for the same placement.
