More than 50 boys and girls from the 1st Barnham Scout Group received
their unique Rolls‑Royce patrol badges during a specially arranged
visit to the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.
Based in a village close to the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood,
1st Barnham Scout Group is divided into two troops, 1st Barnham
Phantom and 1st Barnham Ghost, named after two of the company’s most
celebrated models. Their new patrol badges, featuring the cars’ names
and outlines stitched in gold thread, were designed by the Rolls-Royce
Bespoke team, and made to official Scout Association specification.
In place of their regular evening meeting, members of both
troops visited Rolls-Royce for a special event. The Scouts took part
in team activities, games and quizzes around the themes of
manufacturing, design and engineering. They also enjoyed a full tour
of the manufacturing plant, where they met Associates working on the
production line and saw cars being built first hand. The evening
culminated in the presentation of their new badges, which now take
pride of place on their Scout uniforms.
Mark Guy, Group Scout Leader, 1st Barnham Scout Group, said:
“Our Scouts are incredibly proud of the link with Rolls-Royce; it’s
something absolutely unique and special to them. These badges mean a
tremendous amount and we’re very grateful to the team at Rolls-Royce
for making this possible for them. The Scouts really enjoyed their
visit to the manufacturing plant, and seeing the cars being built has
given their troop names and new badges even more meaning.”
Andrew Ball, Head of Corporate Relations, Heritage and
Philanthropy, said, “We’ve been involved with 1st Barnham Scout Group
for a number of years and it’s always a pleasure to welcome them to
the Home of Rolls-Royce. We are conscious that these boys and girls
are the designers and engineers of the future, and it’s our privilege
to play a part in encouraging their interest in manufacturing and STEM
subjects as potential career options.”
