I've not seen that Scout badge before and I cannot see it listed in Owen's Badges book but he may have not considered the FID a South African unit?

KVA is the Afrikaans version of CFA ( Cape Field Artillery)
The cursive title is actually GPO ( General Post Office) , a seldom seen unit in the new South Africa
Never seen the Scout title before
