British Guides in Foreign Countries
Introducing the new BGIFC Nights Away Badge designed to encourage all members to experience a residential event. It is open to all our members, from the newest Rainbow to the most mature adult member; you can celebrate going away with guiding by gaining the new cloth badge!
To take part, complete the Nights Away Record Card every time you go away for one night or more on a recognised guiding event. This could be a sleepover, camp, holiday, international trip etc. Once you have reached the requisite number of nights you can apply for the badge.
A cloth badge is available for 1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 75 and 100 nights. The badge can be worn on guiding wear or displayed elsewhere if preferred. There are different colours for each milestone.
How to participate
Start collecting your ‘Nights Away Badge’ by filling in the Record Card downloaded from this website. (Note: all downloadable documents are in 
Adobe PDF format).
You can backdate your record from 1st January 2012.
When the requisite number of nights are reached the badges may be ordered from the BGIFC Office using the Nights Away Badge order form here. All badges are £1. You will be invoiced with a total plus postage and packaging.
