Identifying Irish Scout Badges
It can be difficult to identify Irish Scout badges especially those with old Gaelic text. Various symbols were used to represent letters of the Gaelic alphabet, the image above shows what these symbols translate to when using the modern alphabet. Most online translators will translate the text on a badge reasonably accurately when the modern equivalent is used.
