Owl62 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The current Insignia guide shows the District Award of Merit displayed two different ways. One is with the loop up, one is with the loop down. How is it supposed to be displayed on the uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-in-KC Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Every Scouter I know who has earned the award wears it loop up. Have you looked at an insignia guide that's a bit older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr56 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Loop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle90 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Looking at my District Award of Merit plaque, the loop is definitely to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWScouter Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm so confused now. What are you calling the loop? Looking at my palque (from 1993), the interwined line to make the knot is on top and what I would call the loop is down. This is the way I have it on my uniform also.

t158sm Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The insignia guide from 1990 shows that the standing and the working ends of the rope (the loose ends) should be towards the bottom. Also displayed the same way in various other publications I've seen. P.S. Not that it's important, but also how I wear them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentAllen Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 The description of the loose ends doesn't work with the plaque, as the loose ends go out to the side on the top half, instead of dropping down as they do on the knot. In every publication I have seen (Insignia Guide 2003-2005, Scoutmasters Handbook) and on the plaque, the crossed part of the rope is on top. It is shown correctly here: http://www.usscouts.org/awards/distawardmerit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
