Default S.B.S.VOLUNTARY KNITTER

I have just brought this "Badge" because I like it.
It is either S.B.S. VOLUNTARY KNITTER or VOLUNTARY KNITTER S.B.S. lapel badge.
Size 33mm dia x apprx 4mm thick - cloth with safety pin on reverse
Can any of our Naval experts shed any light on this one please??

I have always wondered what highly trained RM Swimmer Canoeists did in their leisure time!
