successfully completing 3 groups of exercises 
(athletic exercises, basic military exercises (i.e. 
hand grenade targeting) and field exercises 
(i.e. orientation in the field). 
The Badge since 1935 was awarded in 3 
classes (bronze, silver and gold) - the higher 
classes required regular repetition of the 
exercises.
