The Hitler Youth Badge ( German: Das Hitler-Jugend-Abzeichen ) was a political decoration of Nazi Germany, awarded for various services rendered to the Hitler Youth ( Hitler Jugend ). The badge was created in 1929, and its official award as a decoration was formalized in 1933.

There were three levels of Hitler Youth badge, each a small pin badge featuring the Hitler Youth emblem and worn on the left breast pocket.

Level 1 - Hitler Youth badge:
This is the standard Hitler Youth badge, designed to mark membership, particularly for leaders. It could not be worn after leaving the Hitler Youth.
The badge represents the emblem of the Hitler Youth: a silver-framed lozenge with a silver square field in the center, featuring a black swastika in a red and white field, with a silver border.

Level 2 - Hitler Youth Gold Badge:
With Hitler's authorization on June 23, 1934, the Hitler Youth Gold Badge (German: Das Goldene Hitler-Jugend-Abzeichen) was created as an honorary award by National Youth Leader (Reichsjugendführer) Baldur von Schirach in recognition of leadership, long service or other outstanding achievements in the Hitler Youth. Recipients included those who had joined the Hitler Youth before October 2, 1932 and had completed five years of uninterrupted service. It could also be awarded for merit, regardless of length of service.
The badge was numbered on the reverse and resembled the standard badge, but with gold rather than silver edging. The right to wear the gold Hitler Youth badge continued after the recipient had left the Hitler Youth and ceased to wear the uniform. The head of the Hitler Youth could grant the recipient the right to wear the badge indefinitely.

Level 3 - Golden badge of the Hitler Youth with oak leaves:
The golden badge of the Hitler Youth with oak leaves ( German: Das Goldenes Hitler-Jugend Ehrenzeichen mit Eichenlaub ) was instituted in 1935 to recognize outstanding service to the Hitler Youth. Only around 250 were awarded.
The badge is similar to the others, but framed by a fine oak-leaf border and finished to a high standard. Recognized as an official Party decoration, it could be worn on any uniform.
