Eagle92 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I know this thread is old, but since someone brought it back to life, I'll add my $.03 worth ( inflation ya know) Someone suggested a "Emeritus" strip similar to the trained strip. There is in existance a "RETIRED" strip that was identical to the old trained strips sold by national and authorized for uniform wear. Don't see to many of those, and I do not know if they make them to the current specs of the trained patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb021 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The purpose of the "Retired" patch is for retired PROFESSIONAL scouters, not us volunteers. Thing is, when a volunteer 'retires' from a position, they no longer hold it, so should no longer wear the insignia for that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainron14 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 What you are suggesting is similar to the "PAST Council President" patches and other national office patches of the same type. I don't know if those are even made anymore (they even had collar devices/pins for the old dress uniforms). Can someone tell me if there is actually a registered position of "Past Council President"? It would seem to me as relevant as a "Scoutmaster Emeritus" patch. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack212Scouter Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Our unit created an honorary patrol, the "Old Goat Patrol" for past Cubmasters. They are invited to big events like Spring Campout and get to come for free, the Pack usually gets some labor from them for this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayou Beaver Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 look on ebay for one of the older green one's, nobody really wears them anymore....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the7hiker Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I had the question posed to me about designing a Scoutmaster Emeritus patch. My solution was to create an Emeritus arc for wearing below any three inch patch. You can see my design on http://www.sageventure.com/store/blanket.html which is in the middle several rows from the top. If you are interested, my email address is on the website and you are welcome to contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA24 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 These guys had one made. You could probably use the same company and order more at a discount: http://www.scout119.org/Bob%20Beil%20Award/BobB.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the7hiker Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have a nice fully embroidered Scoutmaster Emeritus arc now which you can see here - https://www.sageventure.com/store/certificates.html#SM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Flagg Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have a nice fully embroidered Scoutmaster Emeritus arc now which you can see here - https://www.sageventure.com/store/certificates.html#SM. Why? BSA recognizes to such position. You are either an SM or you are an ASM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Latin Scot Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't understand the purpose of this item. If the individual is still wearing his uniform, doesn't such imply that he is a currently registered Scouter? And would that not mean he has some other position which would then, naturally, call for a new position patch? It's not as though Scoutmaster is such a revered position that it has to be memorialized while the wearer is still serving in some capacity. I dunno, it seem rather superfluous to me. And if he isn't a registered Scouter anymore, why is he in uniform in the first place? This seems to me like a poorly thought-out idea. No wonder the BSA does not recognize this as a legitimate insignia - it makes little to no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the BSA does not recognize this as a legitimate insignia - it makes little to no sense. That was my thinking too. Unless the idea is that he wear the SM patch with his patch underneath which, as you correctly point out, would be false advertising. He's not SM so he wouldn't wear the SM patch, would he? Folks will know if you are a former SM by wearing your Scouter's Key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrat77 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The patch is superfluous. Faithful old scouters are always recognized and respected, even in street clothes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
