So, what are you waiting for? Pick up a book, explore your school library, or become a member of your local library and you could be on your way to earning your very own Book badge! 📚

Children must apply for badges themselves, but teachers and group leaders can collect and mail completed application forms in one envelope. Please ensure the correct postage payment, include each child's home address (not the school address), full name, date of birth and confirm parental or guardian consent for participation.

Thousands of children apply for badges each year and it can take up to 12 weeks for your badge to arrive, so please be patient! If you have any further questions, check out our badge Q&A pages.
