Made in the UK
Recognise effort, achievement and progress with personalised merit badges for schools, clubs, organisations and companies.
Choose from button, resin or clutch-back badge styles depending on the age of the recipient, the occasion and the level of achievement you want to recognise.
Merit badges are not just for Scouts and Guides. They can be used anywhere you want to recognise effort, progress, participation or a particular achievement.
Schools can use them for reading, maths, attendance and behaviour. Clubs can use them for participation and milestones. Organisations and companies can use them for recognition, service or internal awards.
The best badge style depends on who will receive it and how significant the achievement is meant to feel.

Clubs, associations and organisations can use merit badges to recognise participation, progression, training milestones and service.
The design can use your logo, colours and wording so that the badge feels like a genuine part of the organisation.
For more formal or long-term recognition, resin or clutch-back badges can give the award a more substantial feel.
Every merit badge can be customised to your school, club, organisation or company at no extra charge.
