The Scout Badge is modeled on
the North Arrow of an old fashion Mariner's Compass. It is commonly termed a treifoil or
fleur-de-lis. It represents the true direction of life. The three parts
represent the three parts of the Scout
Promise. The cross bar links the three parts into one whole. The two
stars
represent Truth and Knowledge. The Springbok, the national animal of
South Africa and one of its best known symbols, makes this badge
distinctively South African.
