Europe has a rich history.  Part of that history revolves around its castles, palaces and their ruins.  This patch will help you explore the importance of castles and palaces and give you a better understanding about these very special places. 

Visiting castles and palaces is something Scouts in Europe can easily do as a troop or on their own - that's what makes this patch unique to those of us overseas. You will find, however, you can complete the requirements listed without ever having visited a castle, palace or ruin, but then, you wouldn't have as much fun!  You may use books, web sites or your school's host nation teachers to gather information to complete this patch. Visiting a castle, palace or ruin would help you complete many of the requirements too. So, we encourage you to visit at least one castle, one palace, and one ruin to truly get the full experience of EUROPEAN CASTLES AND PALACES!
