Our Head of Programming the OSM Bits, has added the 2020 badges, including Scouts, to Online Scout Manager, so you can now add the badge, and tick off the criteria and award it, just like any other badge in OSM.
These have also been made available to Scouts Australia for their Joeys, Cubs and Scouts.
This allows you to do preparation activities before or after your Damboree Event, and tick them off! Who doesn’t like a good ticking off….the to-do list.
As long as you have an OSM Gold Subscription (if your District or County isn’t paying for it for your group/section, badger them to do so as bulk licensing saves money and gives them a natty dashboard view of their County/District) you can add the Damboree 2020 Badges.
In order to do that please follow the instructions below:
| # | Description | Image/link |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Log into OSM | https://www.onlinescoutmanager.co.uk/ |
| 2 | Select the Section you want to add the badge to |  |
| 3 | Select Badges from the left hand Menu |  |
| 4 | Select the area you would like the Damboree badge adding to. It’s possible to add the Damboree badge to: * Challenge * Staged * Core Which one you choose is upto you, as we suggest Core, but it is your choice. For our section we added it to the Core badges for 2019. |  |
| 5 | Click “+Badge” in the top right of your OSM pane |  |
| 6 | Type “Damboree” in the search box and you will see the Damboree badges configured in OSM |  |
| 7 | Click on the badge you would like to add to your section, this will pop up the badge details, the requirements etc. |  |
| 8 | Click “Add badge to my ‘Core’ Area” and it will pop it into your Core badges area of your OSM |  |
| 9 | You can now manage requirements of this badge and attached it to your Programme or Events just like you would any other badge in OSM |
The badges themselves can be ordered from our online store, they are not available from Scout Shops, or through yoru Badge Secretaries.
