That's interesting. The pocket on my son's blue shirt (size - youth M)is 3 3/8" from bottom of flap to bottom of pocket. The patch is 2 3/8" from point to point. Meaning that with both patches on, the Tiger patch extends to at least 1 3/8" below the pocket, and the wolf and bear patches will also extend below the pocket. Correct perhaps, but doesn't look as neat as the insignia diagrams on the websites. Can't imagine other Tiger parents aren't having this issue, if it is really an issue... Thanks for your response, Alan -------------------- I am not sure what the problem you are having is- but the cub rank patches (tiger, wolf, bear, and bobcat are all the same - 1 1/2 inch squares and a 'micron' or two short of 2 inches on the diagonal (diamond shape -point to point). The basic shirt pocket is about 4 inches from the bottom of the flap "point" to the mid-line point at the bottom of the pocket. The area immediately below the pocket seam and right up against the the pocket seam is for the AOL patch...eventually...but by then your in a tan shirt... Unless you have a radically smaller pocket -two rank patches point to point equals 4 inches and should fit. Four patches tightly 'ranked' together should form a "diamond" roughly 3 inches per side with diagonals (both directional dimentions) of 4 inches... now all that said... on some small shirts the tiger patch will over lap the shirt pocket lower seam...check out Cub Scout roundtable web sites (google them) The uniform insignia sections show an over lap...(just leave yourself 2 inches between the top of the tiger patch and the bottom of the pocket flap and you should be fine...)

Hello all, first time poster here. My son has earned his Tiger badge and I'm trying to use the correct placement on the left pocket. We are a new pack, so I really don't have anyone to reference. If I go by the placement diagrams, and leaving room for the other three badges in the diamond, the Tiger badge will come down much further below the bottom of the pocket than the pics. I don't think the Bobcat badge is supposed to get tucked under the flap, so I think the placement is correct. It just seems rather odd that none of the placement guides show the Tiger badge dropping down 2/3 below the pocket. Can anyone confirm?
