To get the Messenger of Peace badge , you usually need to do a service project, document it, and share it so others can be inspired by it. Different Scout associations set the exact steps a little differently, but the core idea is the same: learn, do, and share.

Common steps

  1. Learn about the Messengers of Peace program and what peace/service means in your group.
  1. Plan and complete a community service project, such as helping your community, cleaning a park, or supporting a local cause.
  1. Share or register the project through the official Scouts platform or your local Scout system.
  1. Get leader or coordinator approval, then obtain the badge from your Scout shop or local Scout office if required.

Example

A simple qualifying project might be organizing a neighborhood cleanup, writing thank-you letters to emergency workers, or running a food drive for a community group. Some associations also require a minimum number of hours or specific upload steps, so the rules for your local Scout branch matter.

What to check

  • Your age section or Scout branch requirements.
  • Whether you need to upload the project online.
  • Whether a leader, coordinator, or national office must approve it.
  • How the badge is ordered or issued afterward.
