Link One recognizes membership completed in the Junior program;

Link Two in the Cadet program, and;

Link Three in the Crusader program.

Eligibility: To be eligible for a link badge, a Brigade member must serve a minimum of one year of active service in the corresponding portion of the youth program. It is not necessary for a member to take part in all portions of the youth program to qualify (eg. someone joining the Brigade as an adult, who at one time spent a minimum of a year as a Junior, is eligible to receive the Link One badge). Any currently active Brigade member is eligible to apply for receipt of a link badge(s).

Process: Anyone with a minimum of one year active service in any of the three youth programs (Juniors, Cadets, Crusaders) may apply to their Council using the Application for Link Badge. Application should not be made unless transition from one youth program to another, or to the Adult program, has taken place. The Council will issue the appropriate link badge(s) for presentation, which should be carried out during an awards night, inspection or other appropriate occasion.

The Award: The link badge is comprised of three separate small badges, each with three links (one white, two red) embroidered on it from left to right. Link One's white link is on the left, Link Two's white link is in the middle, and Link Three's white link is on the right. The award is worn on the right side of the uniform, centered immediately above the name tag. Individuals earning this award are entitled to wear the badge(s) on their uniform for as long as they remain entitled to wear the Brigade uniform.
