Instructions

Make a World Membership Badge
Gather everyone together and ask if anyone knows what the World Membership Badge is. Ask if anyone can spot it in the space or on their Scouts uniform.
Together, talk about what the different parts of the badge represent. You can use the attached 'The Scout emblem' sheet if needed.
Ask everyone to wash their hands, then take a paper plate and sit or stand at a table.
Everyone should take a round biscuit and use a spoon to spread some icing onto it, then wait for it to start setting.
While the icing sets, take a licorice lace and strawberry lace. Use the two laces to tie a reef knot and create the encircling ropes, then place this on the biscuit. We’ve added some tips on how to tie a reef knot on this page.
Using a writing icing tube, they should try to draw the fleur-de-lis from the World Membership Badge in the middle of the biscuit. Remember, everyone should be drawing the traditional fleur-de-lis, not the UK Scout logo.
Finally, either use the writing icing or use chocolate star shapes to add the two five-pointed stars.
Everyone should compare the World Membership Badges they made with the badges on people’s uniforms.
When everyone’s finished, enjoy eating your biscuits!
