sschlager Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have a question dealing with Service Stars. When I was in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts I received service stars. Now that I am a Cubmaster I am earning them. Do I just wear the one as a leader or do I also wear the one from my tenure as a scout? I wish there was a book or resource of every award and an explanation of what they are and how you earn them. It seems like most scout offices do not know what half the items are and where they go on the uniform or if they can go on the uniform. Thanks for any advice.

Eagle94-A1 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 1) WELCOME TO DA FORUMS! (And yes, I am screaming at you at the top of my lungs like I would any new Cub Scout leader ) 2) Guide to Insignia and Awards is your answer, http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/InsigniaGuide.aspx 3) Regarding stars, you got 2 options OPTION A. X Star on a CS yellow background for the X number of years as a Cub ( And if you have an old 1 year star on TC Orange background from when it was a separate program you can wear that OR add a year to the yellow background) Y Star on a green BS background AND a Z star on a leader blue background. Option B Add X+Y+Z and wear that total on a blue background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blw2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 off topic, but since the question has been answered.....@@Krampus what's with that profile picture? I must be an old and curmudgeon, but it just doesn't strike me as appropriate.... I've been trying to ignore it, but can't...... like seeing a scouter cursing or smoking in front of the boys, I've just gotta say something.

Krampus is a germanic (mostly Austrian or Tyrolian) figure that accompanied St. Nikolaus during their visit to children on Nikolaustag every December 6th. He's a horned figured that gives children switches and coal and reminds them to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly inappropriate. Satan has many forms. Didn't you see Omen III? Satan was an English school boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well we know that there are those in our country that are offended by the US Flag as being a symbol of oppression and evil. I guess my avatar is going to tick someone off. My personal response to that is.... too bad, live with it, chill out, and most importantly of all... get a life. How many Scout Laws did I break with that one? And you thought a mentor pin or two was a big deal..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoPenn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Well we know that there are those in our country that are offended by the US Flag as being a symbol of oppression and evil. My only objection is that it's a 48 star flag being portrayed and not a current flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Don't remind me about how easily folks get offended. Anyone hear about the girl who is suing her rescuer for rape? She said he touched her inappropriately and kissed doing CPR and she was not able to giver her consent. Now I read that it was a joke on one website, but on another it was real. And with the way folks are nowadays, I could believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
