# Badges

> With badges you can record merit badges, trails, courses, qualifications, or your own internal awards for members.

With badges you can record, for example, merit badges, trails, courses, qualifications, or your own internal awards for members.

Levitio offers some preset sets, and depending on your permissions you can also create your own badges for your unit.

### Preset badges

In Levitio you will find preset badges for merit badges, courses, or birch leaves, for example. Preset badges mostly relate to scout organizations, so if you need badges specifically for your organization, you can set up your own badges or courses as you wish.
