In 1978 the Sheila Cameron Camp Committee held a competition to design a badge. This was won by Karen Butterworth of 1st Keilor Guide Company.
The symbolic interpretation of the badge is:
Circle – is a global shape to remind us of worldwide Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The circle represents unity and a ring of friendship.
Guide Badge – reminds us of our Promise.
Rowallan – named after Lord Rowallan, Chief Scout of the British Commonwealth (a title given after the death of Lord Robert Baden-Powell of Gilwell)
Bell Tent – this type of tent is a Walter Murphy campsite tradition to remind us of camping skills, together with the use and care of our bushlands. Walter Murphy was a Scout Leader who spent many hours teaching Guides how to appreciate the great outdoors.
Gum Trees – this property was given to Scouts and Guides to assist in the conservation project by the Rotary Club of Essendon. Gum trees are part of our national heritage and represents growth of all living things.
House – Minda Killara – a place of security and comfort where we can share the joys of Guiding. Minda is an aboriginal word for house. Killara is the camp name of Miss McNabb the first convenor.
Campfire – for memories, warmth, fun, sharing and the spirit of Guiding.
