Scout Trefoil

The Scout Trefoil

The trefoil, which is the main part of the Scout Badge, 

is the three pointed portion. 

Each point represents one of the three points of the Scout Oath: 

Duty to God and Country, 

Duty to Others, and 

Duty to Self.

The single band joining the three points of the trefoil symbolizes 

unity and universal brotherhood.

The three stars symbolize the ideals of 

Faith, Truth, and Knowledge, 

the foundations of Scout citizenship. 

They also represent the stars under which we sleep under during camps.

The scroll with the Scout Motto is turned up at its end like a smile. 

It reminds us that a Scout is Cheerful.

The rope forming a simple overhand knot reminds us 

to do a good turn daily, no matter how simple it is.
