Their Service - Our Heritage
Does your section know about this opportunity?
It was introduced in 2000 for all members of Scouts Australia, with the intention of raising the level of awareness of the Youth Members about our Veterans, and providing Scout Members with the opportunity to actively participate in the “Their Service – Our Heritage” program.
It is an annual award and is achieved each year, with the year commencing on 25th April. The badge will have a different colour edging each year.
Participate in upto three activities (section dependant) relevant to “Their Service Our Heritage” – for example:
- Take part in an ANZAC Day march or ceremony
- Take part in Remembrance Day
- Invite a Veteran to you meeting to talk to you
- Visit a Veterans' Home or the local RSL Sub Branch
- Maintain you local Memorial
- Visit a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
The section Record Books have a page to record your involvement, and the badges can be obtained from the Victorian Scout Centre - the cost of $1.50 includes postage and handling - send a cheque and order to the Victorian Scout Centre.
