Scouting flag patch

Size: 6.5 x 4 cm (2.56 x 1.57 inch)

The current emblem design was introduced at the 8th World Scout Jamboree in 1955. The final design which is now worn on the uniforms of Scouts around the world includes a rope which encircles the fleur-de-lis and is tied in a reef knot at the bottom of the badge. The rope is there to symbolize the family of the World Scout Movement and the knot symbolizes the strength of the unity of the World Scout Movement. The colors chosen have heraldic significance, with the white of the arrowhead and rope representing purity, and the royal purple denoting leadership and service (source: Wikipedia).
