The President's Badge

The President's Badge is the second - highest award in the Boys' Brigade, and represents the culmination of many years work in the Company Section Award Scheme.  For older Boys joining Company Section, there is scope to "fast-track" through the Award Scheme.  There is also the second option to the Award via the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze award.

Note that these regulations, introduced in the Autumn of 2007 replace the 1983 Regulations (which may still be valid for Boys working under the 1983 Award Shceme until 2009).
