All Proficiency Badges unless otherwise stated, shall
be worn on the right – arm in parallel rows. The
Ambulance man Badges are worn one each on both
arms just below shoulder badges on right and left
shoulders.
Proficiency Badges are established with a view
to developing in each lad the taste for hobbies or
handicrafts one of which may ultimately give him
a career and not leave him hopeless and helpless
on going out into the world.
The Badges are merely intended as an
encouragement to a boy to take up a hobby or
occupation and to make some sort of progress in
it, they are assigned to an outsider that he has done
so, they are not intended to signify that he is a master
in the craft he is tested in. If once we make Scouting
into a formal scheme of serious instruction in
efficiency we miss the whole point and value of
Scout training and we trench on the work of the
schools without the trained experts for carrying it
out.
We want to get ALL our boys along through
cheery self development from within and not
through the imposition of formal instruction from
without.
But the object of the Badge System in Scouting
is also to give the Scout Master an instrument by
which he can stimulate keenness on the part of
every and any boy to take up hobbies that can
be helpful in forming his character or developing
his skill.

SCOUT PROFICIENCY BADGES :
