These have been packaged together along with an artist impression provided by Chris from Explorers and submitted to Gilwell for judging.
- The Gilwell judging panel will shortlist 50 of the designs by 13th January which will be forwarded to the finals
- Judges from The Scout Association and the Shanly Foundation will select the winners, with the outcome being announced on 25th January.
