This award is approved for awarding to Venturers in South Australia.
The badge will be worn in the same space as the Queen’s Scout Award and removed when/if the Queen’s Scout Award is gained.
The pale blue background represents all that the word ‘Endeavour’ embodies – reaching for the sky, the adventures of an explorer, a worthy challenge, an undertaking, an enterprise.
The ‘V’ represents Venturing and is overlaid with the Australian Scout Logo, signifying this is a Scouting Award.
The silver of the ‘V’ is in keeping with the existing diamonds, and represents the silver of a trophy.
It is purposefully not gold – this is not the ‘gold’ award.
The Maroon outline is to include the traditional Venturing colour and to provide a distinction between the background and the foreground.
