jhankins Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Critter beads are everywhere in my council. They're aptly called "Class B beads" and people usually wear them with their t-shirts. I'm not sure how it started, but it's catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutBox Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I like silly stuff, but find this a bit over their top. Was at our SAC, and people were wearing them in full uniform. I was shocked. But that's their problem. I'll wear mine as they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_OX_Eagle83 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sax, take a deep breath, and release it slowly. Youre way to wound up over this. Yea, Ive seen this, its old school spousal recognition, and in my opinion, a good idea. Wood beads as recognition is not unique to BSA, or owned by BSA. Im sure a CE is well aware of this, and isnt remotely concerned. Back in the day we used to make up all kinds of unique recognitions, and some continue to be given to this day. Yea, ok, there has to be a limit to local, non-official, awards, I agree. The line is a simple thing, only official items may be worn on the uniform. Now, in as far as The Book, its good for young ones who cant reach the table otherwise, starting fires, and one can use it in place of AP paper in a pinch. Safety, liability, and packaging/image of their franchise are the responsibilities of BSA, when they exceed this scope, Its mere suggestion, as authority beyond the described realm resides with the CO, not BSA. Critter beads, whatever, I'll not be wearing them /rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkUH60 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 http://wbcritterbeads.com/ I saw these "critter beads" online, looks like a cool idea for class b beads. I would be interested to find a set of metal WB beads. hawkuh60@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDPT00 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Gold beads? Critter beads? Class B beads? Metal beads? Can't we just relax and wear the beads the way they're supposed to be worn? They were at the 2005 Jamboree. So??? BDPT00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFL49 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Fuzzie, To answer your question, look on eBay, and search for "Wood Badge Beads" or "woodbadge 2beads". Some companies (typically in Hong Kong) make metal beads in gold or silver color. They are a cute novelty and the sets that I've seen close up are reasonable quality.
