We are passionate about scouting. We take pride in preserving, cataloging, and celebrating the history of scouting programs, badges, patches, and adventures. Our mission is to honor the spirit of scouting, sharing the requirements and stories behind badges and scouting organizations. We hope to inspire generations to explore, achieve, and grow.
