Default Cloth patch ID help please

Any help with these four patches please? I think the Blue patch with Gold crown and arrows is something to do with 'Eastern District' - Suffolk, St Edmund or similar and possibly related to the scouting movement? I also know I have seen the kukri and bayonet example identified elsewhere before but for the life of me I cannot find it again! As always, my thanks in advance.

Top left is, I believe, a battalion flash of the Border Regiment - the "China Dragon". This example - 7 Border in 213 Inf Bde is in my collection.

Top left Dragon could be Cumberland and Westmoreland Army Cadet Force (sponsored by the Border Regiment).

That's more likely than an obscure WW2 battalion flash. Mike

Thank you so much to all of you. I would never have got them identified without your help and I'm very grateful indeed.
