I have read through everyone's comments today and I must admit I'm torn. As a former Marine I completely understand and respect the importance and value in doing everything possible to adhere to uniform regulations. Then on the other hand I find myself agreeing with Desertrat in believing that the mentor pin does absolutely nothing to discredit the uniform. It's a very small pin but carries quite a bit of meaning to its owner. My two cents for what its worth is that BSA should acknowledge the desire on behalf of the recipients of the pin and designate a spot on the uniform where it can be worn proudly. Let's not let this issue divide us because I think we can all agree that as leaders we have far too much to be working on for the good of these young men than to take issue with an Eagle mentor wearing his/her pin on their uniform. Happy Scouting to you all!
