Clarence District comprises that part of the Southern Region now found on the "Eastern Shore" of the Hobart area. In the early 1950s, the whole of the state capital was one district (Hobart - Clarence) the badge depicting the famous floating bridge which crossed the Derwent at that time. Re-organisation of Scouting saw the Bowen District created on Hobart's Eastern Shore. (Bowen led the first European settlers to southern Tasmania.)
At one stage the District was divided in two - one part Bowen and the one part Clarence. Later rationalisation saw a reduction to one District, with the name Clarence retained. The rising sun signifies that this area is to the east of Hobart where the sun shines first, while the ear of wheat represents the rural areas in the northern part of this District.
Key: Joeys (J); Cubs (C); Scouts (S); Venturers (V); and Rovers (R).
