===Origin/meaning===
The Crown represents service to the Sovereign. The shield and the words “QUEEN’S RANGERS 1ST AMERNS.” are in memory of the Loyalist military unit formed during the American Revolutionary War. The roses, thistles and shamrocks represent the English, Scottish and Irish composition of the Queen’s Rangers. The Motto translates as “Mindful of our ancient valour”.

The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 4, 2004.
