If you're a guide/scout leader - do you award yourself the badges?

Just that really. I'm a uniformed group leader and I wanted to have one of each of the badges I've taught on my camp blanket. Has anyone else done this or is this really bad form??

YANBU - Buy the badges
YABU - Badges are not for leaders

I wouldn't use unit funds, but if you want them for your camp blanket, why not?

Some of my Cubs think its unfair that we don't have our year badges or Nights Away on our uniforms!

(Just don't let the Badge Police catch you. DH likes to wind them up with his uniform... its a work of art!)

Why not? A nice addition for your camp blanket. It's not like you're planning to wear them on your uniform.

I think you deserve the badges 😁

I voted YABU, but not according to the options you laid out in your 'guide' above.
