Made in USA??????

Recommended Posts

I always thought the BSA had a "made in USA" policy, which is the excuse I always hear for the poor quality and high prices of uniform items. At the last RT, we were given our Quality Unit 2006 patches...official "Scout Stuff" printed on the plastic back. Also on the back of EACH patch was a small gold sticker, proclaiming "MADE IN CHINA". I have a vision of some 10 year old cranking these things out in a sweat shop for 14 hours a day making 12 cents an hour. They are of acceptable quality, though I'm not sure I want to wear it on my uniform right under the American flag. Seems kinda hypocritical.(This message has been edited by scoutldr)
