Competition Rules & Guidelines
General
There will be a prize of £25.00 in vouchers to the person who has sent in the winning name and the same for the winner of the badge design. The competition is open to young people up to age of 25 therefore incorporating all youth sections. The maximum number of colours/shades to be used is six, more than one shade of the same colour may be used. As suggestions for ideas, look at the existing Abingdon & Didcot District Scout badges, the Town councils arms and the Oxfordshire County badge. Think about the geography of the area, local landmarks, history and heritage of the area.
