KSAR - Kent Search & Rescue Challenge Badge

What's the cost?
It's £1.50 per person and you pay this when you've completed your 8 challenges to get your certificate and badge.
Can the badge be worn on a uniform or sash?
Yes. County Commissioners in Kent and South East London have agreed that the Search and Rescue Award can be worn on uniforms or sashes. If you're from another county, contact us and we can help you approach your Commissioner.
I'm the leader doing all the work, can I get the badge?
Yes again. It's been agreed that as the person(s) delivering the badge you'll definitely have done all the requirements, and probably more!
Do you want feedback as we progress?
You bet! Although we've done all we can to make sure everything works and the information you need is there we're not infallible. Please email us using the addresses above to let us know how you are doing and any problems. We may take a day or two to get back to you as we might have been out searching so please bear with us.
