Boy Scout Ranks on Venture Uniform

[OAadviser]

I have been asked the question of "Can a Boy Scout wear his rank on a Venture uniform"? I have searched and can not find an answer. Can anyone help resolve this?

Only the Eagle badge may be worn on Venturing uniform.

On page 30-Venturing Insignia

 

"Boy Scout advancement, earned Boy Scout rank recognition, may be worn on the Venturing uniform. See the Boy Scout section for guidelines."

 

So, Venturers may wear their Boy Scout ranks in the same way that a Boy Scout would do. The only part that is at all tricky is the Ealge, since adults wear the knot while youth wear the badge, and as we all know Venturing and Scouting identify youth and adult by slighlty different ages. I would assume that the Boy Scout system would still apply so a youth Venturer 18 or over would wear the Eagle knot.

Since Venture Crews decide their own uniforms, isn't this something the Crew could decide?

If the crew votes to wear the kelly Green shirt then they must follow the uniforming guide. They don't get to pick and choose if they elect this as the uniform.
