  • Patch and Badge Placement

    Patch and Badge Placement

    Patch and Badge Placement United States Flag This patch is one that you shouldn't have to sew on! Most uniforms come with the flag already attached to the right sleeve. Some previously used uniforms may have it taken off but additional ones can be purchased at the Scout Store. The Boy Scouts of America emblem over the right pocket is also attached to uniforms when purchased. World Crest This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership of our program in the World Scouting Movement. This patch shows our brotherhood with millions of Scouts around the world. This patch is worn centered above the left pocket in the middle between the top of the pocket and the shoulder seam. Quality Unit Award This award is given units who have met a list of requirements. This award is worn on the right sleeve of the official uniform. The top of the award should be placed 4" below the top of the American flag . Only the Quality Unit Award for the current year may be worn on the uniform . Council Patch This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to indicate the Council that represents their Pack. Each Council develops their own design although the shape and position on the uniform are the same. Our Council is the Occoneechee Council. This patch is worn on the left sleeve just below the shoulder seam. Unit Numerals This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership in Pack 222. You will see two versions of this patch: a one-piece patch that can be special ordered or the Pack number can be made up of three individual numeral patches that are sewn on next to one another.

    Boy Scout Troop 259 Raven Knob Scout Reservation

    Boy Scout Troop 259 Church of St. Therese March 2009 Volume 4, Issue 1 Raven Knob Scout Reservation We will again have a large contingent going to summer camp. This year we will have 30 scouts and 15 adults going to Ravenknob in the mountains of North Carolina near Mt. Airy. A link to the leaders guide has been posted to the website. Please take a look at the merit badges that will be provided and be thinking of which ones you want to take. The merit badge signup is due by May 1st, and the most popular selections will be first come first serve. This is a great way for new scouts to get a jump start towards rank, and for those older scouts to get merit badges that they may not see at other venues—Archeology, Orienteering, Cinema- tography, Mountain Biking, etc. The schedule will permit scouts to take as many as 8 merit badges (though this would be a lot of work with little downtime). For the adults going, the leaders can get Climbing Instruc- tor Certification, Climb-on Safely, CPR, New Leader Essentials or Safe Swim instruction. As usual, we will be working on the Scoutmaster Merit Badge while we are there. No rest for the weary. On Saturday, February 7th between 8 and 10 am, our scouts served well over 250 pancakes and sau- sages at our Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser held at the Applebee's Restaurant on College Drive. Our final ticket sale total was 223 which meant that $810.16 went back into the individual accounts of the 22 scouts who sold tickets.
