BP Emblem Metal Badge
The BP Emblem was the highest award for Guides. It required a guide to do her utmost effort for every badge, as well as taking part in all patrol and unit activities, doing her share in helping and getting along with others – in other words ‘living’ the Guide Promise.
Guides had to be aged 13 before the badge could be presented and gained before her 15th birthday. Any badge could only be used once.
