What patches may be worn on red wool Jac-shirt?
mrjohns2 replied to Rip Van Scouter's topic in Uniforms
Perfect place, imho, for those eagle mentor pins people want to junk their normal uniform up with. -
That is what the district award of merit is for, no?

NCAP Standards Applied to ALL Council & District Events

When I did a short term camp inspection using the NCAP standards I asked for a lot of info that should have been easy to supply. Crickets. -
NCAP Standards Applied to ALL Council & District Events

Application of NCAP for camporees and OA etc went into enforcement 2 years ago this coming Jan. -
OA national director and assistant out. Dukeman had recently been promoted to also own YPT. NOAC ended up being a super spreader event. Masks only required at entrance to shows and then forgotten about. I wonder if the 2 are connected?

Seems like a plea for funds disguised as a survey.

There is value in seeing “the wider world of Scouts” outside of one’s troop. I wouldn’t trade my memories as a Scout or an adult at camp for a reduction in cost.

Some camps (at least Owasippe and maybe another) I have heard of have a camp / campsite for this. It is hard work, but, nothing stopping you.

For sure. Plus merit badges and a general program that supports the general BSA program. Girl Scout camps are in the $385-$485 range here. Same for Y camps etc.

Brownsea 22 temp patch from the 1980s on Adult leader uniform?
mrjohns2 replied to Scouter658's topic in Uniforms
While not official, Mike Walton's page is very good. It isn't clear to me if this strip should be removed after a Scout turns 18. "Brownsea" Strip (scoutinsignia.com) Also from here: SCOUTER Forum -
Does anyone have recommended brands and brand lines within brands? Or brands / brand lines to avoid?

Actually $60, but there are shorts on sale for $23.

There were 5 (?) items to consider. That was one. The others that were also voted down included moving the rank requirement to star, going back to the "vote only for 1/2", something to do with the honor society name, and one other I don't recall.

What patches may be worn on red wool Jac-shirt?
mrjohns2 replied to Rip Van Scouter's topic in Uniforms
Page 11 of current Guide to Awards and Insignia “Jackets and Their Insignia Multicolored jackets are available for optional wear by youth members and adult leaders. The universal emblem should be worn on the left pocket or, in case of a jacket without chest pockets, in the same area. The Philmont bull emblem is especially designed for the red wool jac-shirt to be sewn on the left side above the pocket. On all jackets, Philmont Scout Ranch, Philmont Training Center, or high-adventure base emblems may be worn centered on the right pocket or in the same relative position if there is no pocket. The Order of the Arrow has adopted the jac-shirt as its official jacket, and members may wear the 6-inch national Order of the Arrow patch centered on the back. The large Philmont, NESA, jamboree, National Camping School, and international participant emblems are approved to be worn on the back of the jacket. Only one such emblem may be worn at a time.” -
As a person on the opposite of the fundamentalist church spectrum, it will be hard for me to buy into co-ed troops.

I do. We haven't had any. If we did, we would a) figure it out or b) be in the same spot everyone is. If the webelos crossed over in December, we would hold elections on 3/31. That would give them 4-5 campouts with the unit since our webelos camp once in the fall, once in December, and then each month after cross over. So, it would be a non-issue. Making sure to note that if a Scout doesn't know the Scout that could be elected, they can choose to not vote. Their non-vote is then not in the denominator and doesn't count as no.

I just saw an ~85 year old scouter who was wearing his tiny oval eagle badge. I gave him a pass with no entry into the infraction log book. He is a great guy and I don’t mind him wearing it.
