NB: As this diagram focuses on the badge positions (incorporating both scout badges and senior scout badges as would occur in a Senior who gained badges as a Scout), the Venturer badge is not visible, however it is also a requirement of the Bushman's thong visible in the picture. Full requirements are available in the handbook

• The Scout tenderfoot badge pictured, may be now be replaced with the maroon Senior Scout membership badge in the same location, once invested as a Senior Scout. At the time this picture was produced, this badge was not available and will be updated.
• Badges gained as a Scout may be continued to be worn until an equivalent Senior Scout badge is gained.
• Public service badges are worn on the left arm, and other proficiency badges on the right arm.
• The ambulance badge is worn on both arms.
• The bushman's thong takes the place of the Scout Cord when gained.
• The 1st Class badge is removed when the Crown award is gained.
• The Instructor badge goes on the pocket line above the right-hand pocket to the right of the BBS/BGS arrowhead badge. The BBS/BGS arrowhead badge may need to be moved along slightly to accommodate it.
