cubmom1 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Does anyone know the answer to this question, and where I can find it in writing? Q. If we take a family vacation and visit a museum or some other place of interest, is it permissible for us to buy a patch from the place we visit to put on his scouts jacket? Would appreciate a reply. Also, if he attends a scouts camp while visiting relatives who live out of state, is it o.k. to put any patches he may earn from the camp on his vest? Thanks for a reply.

sctmom Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Since the "brag" vest or jacket is not part of the official uniform, it has been my understanding the boys can put whatever they want on it. I try to encourage my son to see that it is some how related to Scouting. As a Cub Scout, that covered a lot of the things we did. The state parks where we live sell some cool looking patches. They also sell a patch that says "Georgia State Park Camper" then little ones to go with it that have the name of the Park on it. I let him put those on his brag vest because family camping is related to Scouting, and we usually were meeting some Cub requirement every time we do something at a State Park. I have not found anything in writing over the past 2 years, and I have looked and asked around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 All the items you mentioned may be worn on a Cub Scout's jacket or brag vest. The only thing that is not to be displayed are rank patches, and awards from other organizations such as military awards and service ribbons.
