New Webelos earning Bobcat

[ParkerMom]

We're a new pack with 11 Webelos earning their Bobcat. All of our Webelos wear the tan uniform. Where do they wear their Bobcat patch, on their Red Brag Vest?

 

[Pack212Scouter]

On the Tan uniform, they may wear the Bobcat badge in the traditional location right below the button on the left pocket. If it is worn on the uniform however, they have to use the diamond shaped Webelos badge placed directly below it. If the large oval Webelos badge is worn, the Bobcat is not.

Pack212 is correct. Your Scouts may wear the Bobcat badge. Once the Webelos badge is earned (the oval shaped) the Bobcat is removed. Are the diamond-shaped Webelos badges still available? I thought they were going to be phased out.

[Scouting Mom]

The diamond shape Webelos badges are still available and both Bobcat and Webelos badges can be worn on the tan uniform in the same configuration that they would be worn on the blue uniform.

 

You'll notice on the uniform inspection sheet: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/34282.pdf

it shows the full diamond configuration with a Webelos badge and it says, "Blue or tan shirt." So they can wear both the Bobcat and Webelos, but since they just joined, they wouldn't have the Bear and Wolf.

 

Or they can center the bobcat on the pocket and remove it when they earn Webelos, wearing either the oval or diamond Webelos centered on the pocket.
