Badge Reference 2299 Date posted Saturday 6th of August 2022		Badge posted by Andy These lapel badges are quite old. They have "Be Prepared" in their Flemish equivalent which would suggest Dutch. Are they Dutch or possibly Belgian, and what dates could they be from.

Badge Reference 2297 Date posted Wednesday 27th of July 2022		Badge posted by Scouts Canada National Museum This group of proficiency badges was received recently at the Scouts Canada Museum in Ottawa. They are all black coloured with white lettering and symbols (ie no other colours). Only one ( the reef knot - Knotter) resembles anything in any of our old badge books. It could be suggested that they were specifically for Sea Scouts, but I cannot find them described in any of our badge sources. They came from the descendent of a former Scout in the Maritimes during the late 1930-1940s. Other badges (Tenderfoot, First Class, King's Scout) in the same package appear to be standard Canadian Scouting issue of that period. Can anyone identify the source of this design of badge ?
