Scout windshield decal

[fgoodwin]

Yesterday, I saw a minvan ahead of me that had a big Scout decal on its rear window. The decal had the child's name below it.

 

Does anyone know where I can get this kind of decal? I've seen others that had a soccer ball, a cheerleader's megaphone, a band instrument, etc. I assumed the child's school sold the other decals, but I doubt if they sell the Scout decal.

 

I think this would be a great way to show my support both for my son and for Scouting. Our Scout shop has no idea where this decal came from -- any ideas?

Maybe it was home made! In this age of technology, there are not a lot of things that you can't produce on a home computer yourself...or know of someone who can custom make something. We have a local private school that has a Fleur de Lis as their school symbol and you'll be driving around and see one on the back of a vehicle and immediately think it's scout related!

I don't like to put those decals on my car because then I can't drive like my Jersey upbringing allows. ;-)

Hey, I've got the "I'm Proud of My Eagle Scout" bumper sticker taped to the bottom corner of the driver-side of the rear window. More people see it that way.

Just be aware that most BSA logos are registered trademarks. If you can't buy it in the scout shop, it's probably not legal. I wonder how the scrapbookers are getting away with it.

Hey EagleDadx3,

Congratulations and welcome to the campfire!

I have 1 down (or should we say up?) and 2 to go, but hope to join you in claiming 3 from this roost.

 

It's a little off topic, but since EDx3 already answered the question, here goes.

A few years ago, my Boy Scouts started giving me a hard time about displaying BSA stickers on our cars. (Background: Some might call us a hard-core conservative family and our political and religious views are often discussed around the house.) I told my boys those stickers were my quiet protest against the so-called politically correct who are fighting the controversial views BSA is willing to stand up for.

To my amusement, within a few days, my spare stickers were being displayed on their school notebooks and they started wearing BSA t-shirts to school.

We had many good laughs over the wacky and rude comments they received.

 

The only downside is it HAS tempered my combat assault driving techniques on the local roads, like Eagle73 suggests....

 

Here's to being politically incorrect!

Jeez - growing up in the 60s and 70s, I never would have thought the Boy Scouts would ever be the radicals!

Display those stickers proudly!!

(While you still can.)
