"We have decided to go with Scarey's idea with a twist" YAY! What do I win? ;-) Sean

Our Cub Scout pack has a seamstress who sews a khaki colored vest trimmed in olive green. It looks great with the uniforms. Sean

"But perhaps it is not "the" red wool jac-shirt referred to in the Insignia Guide. The question, then, would be what patches one may put on it, if any. Does the Insignia Guide allow or prohibit the placement of patches on non-uniform garments?" Then again, the next question is, even IF there is a standard for the red jackets...what if you don't abide by it? In my mind, it simply becomes a non-uniform garment. Most leaders in our district use the red jackets as bragging vests, patches all over the back, etc...I don't know about most of you, but I wear jackets a lot more than I wear vests...the vests aren't very stylish on adults, in my opinion.

Hello all. I'm new to the forum, and new to being an adult scout leader. I was in Cubs for 4 years, Arrow of Light, Boy Scouts for six years, got my Eagle scout literally 2 days before I turned 18 I helped out as an Asst. Scoutmaster in my early 20's for about a year and a half. Now, my son just turned 6 and is in Tiger Cubs, and I'm the Den Leader. I'm pretty good with older kids, but I struggle with younger kids a bit (not my own son, but with groups). Just here looking for good ideas/suggestions in running Cub Scout Den Meetings. Just as a personal aside, and one reason why I love scouting so much...I still have all my old badges, rank, merit and camp stuff, but no council or number patches. Well, my son is helping me put together a scrapbook of my stuff, along with starting his own. I sent out 4 emails to various District Leaders (I was involved with 3 different troops through the years). Within 14 hours, I had responses from ALL 4, including my troop numbers and councils that I belonged to. How awesome is that? Look forward to chatting with everyone. Sean

Someone posted a while back about the Green jac-shirts, here's one on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Official-Boy-Scout-Jacket-Green-BSA-Patch-Boys-M-Nice_W0QQitemZ330048596162QQihZ014QQcategoryZ13890QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Sean
