The 100 Year Badge (shown above) will be available to all members in the Moonee Valley District during 2009
The Centenary of Australian Scouting is a significant milestone.
Scouts Australia commissioned a typically Australian logo to
commemorate the occasion imbued with meaning and its own story.
The two Aboriginal symbols at the centre of the logo
represent "young person" and "human kind" respectively.
The lines in the background represent a journey or a passage of time
marked by milestones (the circles).
The design, while celebrating 100 years of Scouting in Australia, recognizes the journey of
Scouting over 100 years to 2008 to become the modern youth organization it is today.
The logo embodies the principle that
Scouting is inclusive and for all people (humankind).

Our District Badge.
The unique Moonee Valley (was Essendon) district badge is in the shape of a gum leaf. It shows two aboriginal scouts making smoke signals with a long tube of rolled bark over a fire of dried grass. Such signals were sent by the best scouts of the area, who were sent ahead to contact the Ja-jow-er-ong people. They needed to seek permission from the Ja-jow-er-ong, who controlled the area around Mount Macedon, north-west of Essendon, to collect the special stone found only in that region for their axe heads.
The badge was designed by a Mr. Manley in time for the 1935 Frankston Jamboree.
