Quick answer
Scout and Guide groups sometimes use custom wristbands for badge and achievement recognition, patrol identity, or as a simple keepsake from a camp or jamboree.
Between patrols, badges and camp activities, a Scout or Guide group has plenty of opportunities for a small, meaningful wristband.
Why Scout and Guide groups use custom wristbands
A wristband gives a troop or unit a shared identity, and can also mark a specific achievement or milestone along the way.
Wristbands for badge and achievement recognition
Some groups give a wristband alongside a badge presentation, adding a wearable element to the achievement.
