EARN YOUR READER BADGE
Why not have a try for the Reader Badge? It is really quite a simple one to gain, and you will find great enjoyment in working for it. To qualify for the Badge you should—(1) Have read 18 books in the previous 12 months, and supply a list of the books, giving title and author, to the Examiner, who will, by viva voce examination, assure himself that the books have been read with understanding.
(2) Show a knowledge of how books should be cared for. (You should note that the Examiner will bear in mind the objects aimed at by the Badge: firstly, to encourage the mere habit of reading; secondly, the reading of books by good authors, or books of special value or interest to the individual Scout.)
