Duke of Edinburgh Award Pin Badge

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Pin Badge is an officially recognized insignia awarded to participants who have completed the requirements of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program. Instituted in 1956 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the program encourages the development of practical and social skills through a series of structured challenges for young people. The pin badge typically features the award’s distinctive crest, which may include the Duke’s cypher or crown motif, and is often made from metal with an enamel finish. Such badges are worn as a mark of achievement and are presented upon the successful completion of bronze, silver, or gold levels of the Award. This item serves as a significant emblem within British educational and youth services contexts and is associated with personal accomplishment and community involvement. The badge is suitable for collectors interested in youth movement memorabilia, British honors, and related military or service awards.
