Looking for something else & stumbled across the CCF regulations on sharepoint.
This is the extract regarding standards/banners so I would infer that only the contingent gets a banner & not individual sections.

Doesn’t mention whether it’s talking about the blue banner or the defaced union flag?!
Also is there not a more in-date version of these regs?! As scary as it is, 2019 was 7 years ago!
It’s talking about the contingent banner which is the green one with the CCF logo or the dark blue one with the school logo & roses

CCF Regulations V3.2 (2026 Update) is the most recent.
8.3.2.g. Service Section Banners. Banners for Service Sections within a Contingent must not be used.
@OC.1324 - hope this helps?

Holy smoke I’ve never seen a set of regulations so clear, concise and succinct! Whoever wrote this needs a massive pat on the back! Clear images, footnotes, formatting, the lot, such a breath of fresh air!

Thanks so much!
@tmmorris did you find it? 
I recommend Ammo & Co (The Official Cadet Kit Shop) - Printed Cadet Banners – Cadet Kit Shop
They are approved by MOD and also supply colours, banners and guidons for the Armed Forces.
Now THAT is a nice badge!
Was it approved by the captain general?

So chippy.
Why do people insist on changing badges that already exist?

isn’t the CCF a UK wide construct

I thought that too - we definitely have CCF units in NI…

Definitely not with the crown on top - the CCF roundel isn’t a unit badge like that!
Having the same text duplicated in the circlet and the scroll, but then adding additional text beneath the scroll, just screams that someone doesn’t know what they’re doing.
However, although the full geographic part of the title is ‘Great Britain and Northern Ireland’, ‘Great Britain’ is legitimately used as shorthand for the whole UK (as, historically, the ‘UK’ bit wasn’t unique enough). For example, ‘Team GB’ in the Olympics is a UK-wide team and the international codes on car number plates and stickers was, until recently, ‘GB’ (including in NI) rather than ‘UK’. I have no idea why this changed, but it used to bother me that a ‘UK driving licence’ didn’t include NI: but ‘GB’ on numberplates and stickers did.
Basically I think the brief was to take the CCF roundel, which is approved and complete in itself, and make it look from a distance like an RAF squadron badge. Which, to be fair, they have achieved, but not necessarily in a compliant way.
