The King’s Badge, as it was originally known, was introduced in 1913 by permission of King George V, with the first ever King’s Badge being presented in March 1914. In 1953 the name was changed to the Queen’s Badge on the accession of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen’s Badge is the highest award in The Boys’ Brigade. Currently it can be gained by boys of 16 years of age and over. It involves completing various leadership courses, providing service to the Company/Church and community, as well as other activities.

Since the inception of the King’s/Queen’s Badge, 22 members of the 3rd Enfield have gained the award.
