The new badge will be worn by all Battalions of The Royal Regiment of Scotland when it is formed in spring 2006. The badge, which will replace all the current Regimental badges, was recently approved by the Army Dress Committee and granted Royal Assent by Her Majesty the Queen.
The new Regiment will consist of the six regiments of the Scottish Division which will each form a battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. The six regiments are; The Royal Scots, The Kings Own Scottish Borderers, The Black Watch, The Highlanders, The Royal Highland Fusiliers and The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
