When Baden-Powell started the Scouting movement, he felt that any Scout who took the time and trouble to master skills should be rewarded for his effort. He gave to each Scout who passed certain tests a badge to wear on his uniform. It recognized the importance of what the Scout had done and let others know of his achievement. That is how the badge system started in Scouting. ~The Boy Scout Handbook

It takes determination and effort, but the rewards are great. The Scouts and Scouters listed below are those members of the troop who have achieved Scouting's flagship rank.
