The Scout Badge Challenge 

 

Asociación Gallega de Escultismo A.G.D.E.

The Scout Badge Challenge Committee was born in 1989 as an international initiative in order to help Scouting and Guiding in need. We intended and we did up to know, to supply FREE badge projects on behalf of people who otherwise would be unable to afford the high costs of production.

Our only purpose is the good turn. We strongly believe in the Scout Spirit so we do all the best on behalf of those who deserve our efforts: kids. They have the same right to enjoy a lovely badge like ours and not so ugly printings they usually had in the past. They are not guilty of the situation in their homelands.

 

Even our Committee usually received resources from campaigns organised by individuals,former scouts, troops and associations who developed support programmes abroad, our budget is still too low and the free badge supply requests increased considerably during the last three years.

 

We were obviously forced to act as dealers to increase the income even we are not suppliers

nor professionals. However, we already got the best market prices and factory conditions world wide.

 

If you also intend to help a particular grouping, little association of foreign scouts who need our help, we shall be very happy to take into consideration an investment.  Anyway, all sort of personal benefits ARE NOT allowed, this is our ONLY condition. But, if you do so and proceed against the Scout Law, everything from you will be refused in the future as well as our Committee keep the right to notify your own scout association about your actions.

  I personally have no doubts this attractive opportunity will be of your interest. If you

require certificates from the associations that enjoy our support, we shall kindly send a

copy without delay.

 

Looking forward to hear from you,

                                               I am,
