Polishing your trefoil

Hi Guides

This is just a post to guide those who are still unsure about how to polish your trefoil. :-)

Step 1:

Get a cloth (in my case I used a disposable one) and gently squirt some toothpaste on it.

Step 2: 

Hold your trefoil upside down and start rubbing the front gently on the cloth with toothpaste.

Step 3: 

After a few times, you'll notice that the cloth will start to turn dark blue/black. Don't stop. Keep rubbing it for around 1 minute.

Step 4:

When the toothpaste has completely turned blackish in color, get your toothpaste and squirt some out again, this time on one side of the black portion.

Step 5:

Keep repeating step 4 for at least 5 times and then wash your trefoil under running tap water for 30secs and then dry it with dry tissue. You'll then get a bright and shiny trefoil! :D (Trust me- it's a lot brighter in real life)

Because the trefoil is our most important badge, I hope all of you will take good care of it throughout your guiding years. Polish it, and keep it safely when not required. I hoped this little tutorial aided you in your polishing! :-)
