eagle90 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone know if the Troop Numerals with the "built in" Anniversary bar (25 yrs, 50 yrs, etc.) are available in the new green numerals? They were always a special order in the red numerals. We have new crossover scouts coming newt month and are wondering. Thanks! Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKlose Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I special-ordered some custom numerals a couple of months ago. I seem to recall being asked if I wanted to add an anniversary strip. There isn't any harm calling National Supply and asking. The woman who took my order was very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMitch Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 In the early stages of the centennial numerals, they would not make them with the veteran unit bar. I'm sure by now they are doing it. Our troop is at 46 years. When I ordered the new numerals without the bar, since they would not make them for us at that time, I figured we would wait and make a big splash for our 50th and reorder them with the bar at that time.

Hal_Crawford Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Our SM just ordered new unit numeral patches with built in veteran bars (65) from our council scout shop so it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle90 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the information. I will call tomorrow and order them. We have 12 crossovers coming aboard next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle90 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just for your information, I received the custom made anniversary numerals in four weeks. All is well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal_Crawford Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ours just arrived too. They look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 How much were the custom numbers? Our unit just passed 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKlose Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I bought a minimum order of 12 (2-digit patches), which I think came out at around $29. Individual numerals are $1.19, I think, which means getting the custom numerals was fairly close to the same cost. I covered this in another thread: with the new digits, the font of the 2 and the 8 don't match (and it really bugs me!). So getting the custom insignia was my only choice.
