The Australian Comforts Fund (ACF) was first formed in August 1916 to send comforts to the troops. The ACF also ran a residential and recreational club for troops on leave in London called the AIF and War Chest Club. The ACF officially closed in April 1920, only to reopen for WW2.

This medal is signed by Stokes on both sides, with the traditional image of Baden-Powell on the front, and a boomerang and a kangeroo on the reverse, together with the scouting fleur-de-lis and the date. It is struck in silver (unhallmarked) and is in near EF condition, with one small scratch to the obverse.
