WELCOME TO THE NEW ZEALAND BADGERS CLUB WEBSITE
*** APPOLOGIES - SITE IS BEING UPGRADED AND REVAMPED ***
WE WILL HAVE MEMBERS ACCESS AND CONTACT FORMS SORTED SOON.
The Club aims to encourage the collection of Scout and/or Guide badges. This site is for anyone interested in these badges.
Membership & User Registration
Anyone can register on this site and registration will give you access to some additional content like Jamboree badge catalogues. This does NOT make you a Club Member, this is a taste of things "Full Membership" offers.
See below for the benefits of Full Membership.
To Join the Club, start by clicking "REGISTER" at the top of this page
FULL MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
From as little as $10 per year (for e-mail membership), Full Membership gives you access to all the website content. Full members can:
- View, search and download additional catalogues
- Buy badges
- Participate in badge auctions
- Submit badges and badge info for inclusion in catalogues
- See a list of other Club Members that you can contact (unless restricted). We have members in New Zealand and in many other Countries.
In addition to access to the “Full Member” sections of this website, Full Members of the Club will also receive:
Club Regional Meetings
Club meetings are held at a number of locations around the country.
This is a great chance to talk to other members, learn something new and "Swap Badges".
BADGE CATALOGUES
Catalogues are the basis of the Badgers Club. They let collectors know what badges exist, so they can know what to look for. By using the catalogues, Club members can compile lists of badges they have available to swap and those they want.
The Varieties catalogue lists all known Scout badges for New Zealand Zones, as well as older Districts and Areas/Provinces. It also lists badges issued for National events such as Jamborees, Mudslide day, ANZAC parades, JOTA/JOTI, etc. At present the Varieties catalogue is available only as a printed publication but we intend eventually to publish it online.
The website already includes online catalogues for what we call “Local Issues”, such as Region, Zone and Group events, and badges issued by Troops/Contingents for Jamborees.
