Hi everyone! First time poster. I am really for the idea of badges for the fieldcraft PTS and was wondering if the corps has any updates at all about it? I have attached my concept of the badge and was wondering if they are looking at anything similar? If anyone has opinions on my concept feel free to share them I would appreciate feedback.
Personally I think we have too many badges, and all they do is create badge collectors who sign up for the badge not the experience or learning.

It was proposed to the DPSG.
The answer is in the minutes from a meeting last year on the DPSG hub

Too complicated - & the rifle looks like a .303 but with an SLR magazine! 
Anyway, as Fieldcraft is a lot about camouflage - you shouldn’t see them!

Thanks everyone for your feedback. So is it looking like there won’t be badges for fieldcraft then?
Hopefully not

Regardless of the position on having a fieldcraft badge in the first place, I think we also need to be careful to ensure that badges don’t look a little bit too much like the logos of Hezbollah (or any other terrorist group for that matter…)

This really leads onto a good topic… Because it’s so true there’s too many cadets now days just looking for badges not the factor of leaning new skills and it shows. I watched a cadet video from 2015/2016 and the cadets seem interested in what there being taught and the cadets teaching have seem to also have a genuine interest and ability to teach.
As I know this isn’t true to all cadets and there is some that do find interest in a lot of different topics I do find there’s many just looking for badges.
