The Inclusive Scouting Badge

The Inclusive Scouting badge is the first badge our scouts earn, and one of the few badges worn by scouts of all ages, from Chipmunks to Rovers.

Symbolism

The Inclusive Scouting badge features a silver arrow against a rainbow background of black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, royal blue, and purple.

Earning the Award

We earn the Inclusive Scouting badge by wearing it! It stands out on our uniform as a declaration of our values, our commitment to creating an environment where all are welcome, and everyone can scout with us.

A scout may choose to add the 20th Anniversary Award above their Inclusive Scouting rather than remove and re-sew both. In that case, they should place the badges side-by-side on their next uniform shirt, whether it’s because they move to the next size up or when they swim/leap to a new Section.

In any case, the 20th Anniversary Award is yours to wear as long as you remain a scout, for participating in the Outdoor Service Guide’s 20th Anniversary year!

OSG Mission

The mission of Outdoor Service Guides is to foster an inclusive environment where individuals of all ages develop outdoor skills, connect across generations, and engage in community service.

Everybody Scouts
OSG believes that all people and all families should have an equal place in the scouting movement. We welcome scouts and their families as they come to us, and we will do our best to make scouting and its activities accessible to every child or adult who wishes to join.  We welcome everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or no religion), or other differentiating factors.  We believe that scouting is for everybody. We welcome those who have scouted a long time and those who have never tried scouting before joining us.
