Creating a playful and curious new identity for this Scout Campsite
Overview
Huish Woods, Blackdown District’s Scout Campsite, approached Hatched with the idea of modernising the badger-inspired theme for their new branding. The campsite management believed that the local badger population and its attributes resonated with the campsite’s values of resilience, community, and exploration. The goal was to create a distinctive and memorable brand identity that celebrated the spirit of the badger and be able to use it with the new UK Scouts branding, while reflecting the campsite’s offerings and aspirations.
