I have!  I am doing a research project to understand the meaning of all the symbols (pictures) on scout badges from around the world of scouting.  For example, I would like to know:

JapanT.gif (8061 bytes)What is the meaning of the Stars and Words on this badge from Japan?

But... I need  YOUR help.

I need your help to tell me what the symbols (pictures) mean for the badges from your country.  PLEASE, select your country from the lists below and fill out the form with information about your country's Boy Scout emblem.  This information is usually available in a Scout Handbook or Guide. 

Please take a look at the example for my country -- the USA.
