SouthPoleScout Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 This one is for the Patch Police Can a boy wear the tan shirt with green shoulder loops for Venturing? or is there some policy on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9gold-scout Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 No - or yes? Venturing Crews can choose their own uniforms with a few restrictions. Now if the scouts voted on the BSA tan shirt with green loops and put it in their bylaws - OK. Now other crews may think you were - not with the program - rember Venturing Scouts are not older Boy Scouts. It is a BSA program, but the idea is to give more control to the scouts. I have never saw a Crew wearing the tan shirts with green loops. YIV Jim AA Crew 746 - WALCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Do we still have "Venture Patrols" within the troops? They wore the "Venture" strip above the "Boy Scouts of America" strip on the tan shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9gold-scout Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 The "Venture" strip on a tan boy scout uniform is a sr. boy scout in a troop. They wear the Red Loops. The Green Loops are for "Venturing" a scout in a seperate "Venturing Crew". It is a seperate program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDHII Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 The anser is no. The Venturing program has a very relax uniform code where the individual units decide on the uniform and how it's worn. However, only green epaulets maybe worn on the Kelly green Venturing uniform. No other colors (with an exception to grey for council, yellow for national, and red/white/blue for international scouting) may be used on the uniform. The Venture strip designates the Venture Patrol only and may only be worn with red shoulder epaulets on the tan uniform. Notice it says "Venture" and NOT "Venturing." These are two separate programs with different legalities. The Venturing Program allows units to determine the uniform policy within a unit's bylaws, however there are limits to what a unit can and cannot wear. I hope this helps...
