For example, the assessment of the skills and knowledge to get a scouting badge is done with well articulated criteria and assessment forms within a master - apprentice model. Once the badge earner has proven their skills and knowledge against the criteria as assessed by the master, they are issued a badge.

The important thing is that the issuer needs to figure out how to assess if the earner is deserving of the badge.''
