Cubs shirt badge layout

The Cubs badge placements are detailed in this image.  You can also obtain a copy of the Cub Handbook from Scouting Direct.

Note that only National and International event badges should go on the uniform, on the left sleeve. Any Group badges or trades etc. should go straight onto your blanket. You should only have two event badges on your uniform at any one time, and they should be for events no more than 12 months old.  Once your Event badge is more than 12 months old, you should remove it from your uniform and sew it to your Scout blanket.

The Adventure Skills badges go along the right sleeve. You only have one level of each Adventure Skill badge on your uniform at a time – for example, if you have a Level One Air badge, and earn your Level Two Air badge, you need to take the Level One badge off and put it on your Scout blanket, then sew the Level Two Air badge to your uniform.

The Better World badges are sewn above the Adventure Skills badges. Arrange them in two rows if you have earned more than four.

If you have been a Kea before becoming a Cub, leave your Kea Capstone (if you have one) on your uniform until you earn your Cub Capstone.

Once you have earned your Cub Bronze, remove your Kea Bronze, Silver and Gold (if you have them) and place them on your Scout blanket instead.
