The silver badge and the gold badge are both identical clutch-back pins with either silver plating or gold plating. They are both available with any and all inlays describing individual skills, which is why we say that all badges are available in silver or gold. The gold badges are usually awarded to children who have completed all the requirements listed in the handbook pertaining to the skill. A silver badge is usually awarded to very young members who are unable to complete all the requirements in the handbook, but are able to complete a scaled-down subset of requirements determined by their leader.
Children can earn more than one Bible memory badge.
There are Bible memory badges available for memorizing the books of the Bible and all the passages listed in the handbook. Each Bible memory badge states which passage was memorized. There is also a generic Bible memory badge with no passage stated, which can be used for passages that a leader wishes the young people to memorize which are not specifically available from us. We have tried to make the program as great an encouragement to young people to learn and retain Scripture as possible. Memorizing complete passages not only thoroughly acquaints them with a considerable amount of Scripture, but it also gives them enough continuity to learn and retain the meaning of what they memorize.
