Series 3 Badges

The Centenary year, 1983, saw a major revision of the awards system. Five new badges replaced the twenty four awards, and 46 metallic foil stickers (Credits) accompanied them. When a boy gained two credits in a category, he gained the badge. A further two credits and he received a red plastic surround and with one further credit he gained a blue surround.
