The second badge (the top part) may be worn by members who have completed a specific task.

The badge(s) should be worn as a 'Special Event' badge as indicated on the association badge chart.

The Task

Simply, carry out a task/project/event/initiative involving the number '100'. The event MUST be thought up, planned and carried out by Scouts themselves as a team (i.e. a Beaver Lodge, a Cub Six/Clann Macaoimh, a Scout Patrol, a couple of Venture Scouts) The list overleaf will provide your members with a few ideas to set their imagaination to work.

!!! Wear it for Life !!!

The National Youth Programme Committee has decided that if the top portions of the badge have been earned then the complete badge Top and bottom can be worn for life.

The downloadable Application Forms should be sent to Scouting Ireland National Office, Larch Hill. Dublin 16. for the attention of Provincial Youth Programme Representive for approval.
