Badge Reference 2371
Date posted Thursday 2nd of November 2023 | ![[Badge Image]](../images/badge_id/thumbnails/badge_to_id!2371-300.jpg) | Badge posted by Jean Gosling These three badges were in Mike Gosling's British Scouts in Foreign Countries collection. I can see no mention of them in the catalogue. Can anyone confirm who used them? Thank you. Comment posted on Thursday 2nd of November 2023 by Edwin These are Group badges from Cyprus, and so listed. The group wore them on the back of their Neckerchief. Comment posted on Thursday 2nd of November 2023 by Dave Pinnington The two badges showing the outline of the island were used prior to independence when Cyprus was under British rule. The badge with a bird is a Group badge from Akrotiri. Comment posted on Thursday 2nd of November 2023 by Fred Eardley I believe they are all Group badges. The one with the map of Cyprus, I was told, was the first type worn by the 57th Cyprus (Episkopi) Group. It later adopted an anchor on a diamond shaped badge.The one with the bird on was the 58th (Cyprus) Akrotiri Group.If anyone knows differently, please let us know Comment posted on Thursday 2nd of November 2023 by Jean Gosling Many thanks to you all for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated.

Badge Reference 2370
Date posted Monday 30th of October 2023 | ![[Badge Image]](../images/badge_id/thumbnails/badge_to_id!2370-300.jpg) | Badge posted by John Ball I acquired this badge recently. I assumed it was UK scouts in Singapore, early variety, but I now realise it should say 'Singapore' in the tablet, not 'Boy Scouts'. There is no 'un-named' variety listed in the Singapore or the BSIFC catelogues. I am confused. Is this an early BSIFC Singapore badge? Comment posted on Wednesday 22nd of November 2023 by Tony Dunn I also have this badge but its exact location is unknown. It first appeared at the 1947 W/Jam. Thought to be Ceylon, India or Burma but closer than that not known. Comment posted on Wednesday 22nd of November 2023 by Tony Dunn Both are British Group scarf badges. The map one was the 57th Cyprus Episkopi. Round dates was in use by 1960. Was also used by Cyprus island contingent to the Isreali Jamboree in 1965. Square issued by 1968 and a ribbon version was in use in 1998. Cyprus gained its independence in 1960 so neither are pre independence.The flamingo badge is 58th Cyprus (RAF) Akrotiri based on the station crest. 4 versions the last being pink on black 1979-2013. Silver on black 1/2B issued Feb 1964. Ribbon in 1973-1979. All EXT but 58th survive as Sea Scouts.
