Busy Bee doing Voluntry work!

I mentioned a few posts back that I do voluntary work  in scouting Ireland!. I was asked my our group leader if I would design a badge to represent Rathkeale scouting.
 Heres a few pics with the planning and experimenting,

 

• The Rathkeale scouting colours are red and green, and our uniform is navey blue
• The hand symbol on its own is the scouting symbol and is used during meetings to gather the children's attention. They learn this symbol  when they first join in the scouting community.
• The symbol in the hand that is held by the baby and thumb finger is the Fleur De Ly's symbol, this is the international symbol of scouting.
• I have a capital 'R' in the middle of the Fleur De Ly's symbol to represent Rathkeale.

Shapes: Generally main important badges are in large circles

And badges earned for activities and outings are square

Here is the almost finished piece, it has be confirmed and accpeted to use by the head of scouting Ireland, however I may have to make some minor changes!!
