Register
A partnership between Birmingham Scouts and Girl Guiding working with the Jo Cox Foundation. The County Commissioners for both Birmingham Scouts and Guides have agreed that the More in Common badge can be worn on the uniform and will be provided free of charge to members who have completed the requirements. This results from a generous donation in memory of the late Jean Rookes, who worked jointly for many years, with Peter, in working for a friendlier, more compassionate society.
How to gain the badge
To gain the badge, members should complete activities from the list below.
- Squirrels, Beavers and Rainbows complete 2 activities
- Cubs and Brownies complete 3 activities
- Scouts and Guides complete 4 activities
- Explorers and Rangers complete 5 activities
The most important thing is that you spread the word to your section members so that as many people can take part as possible. If you do want to get involved with any of the events please contact your Leader, Section ADC or the Section ACC or drop us an email at info@birminghamscouts.org.uk
