White Ribbon Badge Launch

We are excited to announce the official launch of our White Ribbon Badge, the first of it's kind. Humberside Scouts partnered with both Jacky Bowes, High Sheriff of the East Riding of Yorkshire and White Ribbon UK, to create the very first White Ribbon Scouts Badge, which was officially launched at our very own Raywell Park Activitiy Centre on Saturday 26 November 2922.

Our badge aims to encourage our members, young people and adults, to live by our Scouting Values. Our participation in this crucial issue will mean that together we can help develop a call to action to help champion lasting change.

We are very proud to have worked in partnership to create this badge, which has the support of the local police force as well as many other high ranking organisations in the area.  We hope that the badge will expand and will go on to be used around the UK, enabling more Scouts to champion lasting change.

in designing the badge, we created two sets of criteria for the badge, specific to the younger or older Sections, which can be used by our volunteers to have appropriate and meaningful conversations with the young people involved in Scouting.
