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. -
Girl Scouts Mythbusters
GIRL SCOUT MYTHBUSTERS Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are, and always have been, two very different organizations. Since Boy Scouts of America started recruiting girls to their program, there has been confusion and misinformation reported about Girl Scouts. Here are common myths and the facts.

Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service. -

A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg. -
Learning from the Past, Facing the Future the Boy Scouts, USA
CASE STUDY 6Learning from the Past, Facing the Future The Boy Scouts, USA Where is there a boy to whom the call of the wild and the open road does not appeal? ~ Robert Baden-Powell A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 86 Mention the phrase “character-forming institution” to an American male of a certain generation, and chances are high he will invoke the Boy Scouts. The most popular youth movement in American history, the Scouts became the preeminent virtue-building organization of the twentieth century, influ- encing a web of other civic institutions. More than 105 million boys have participated in the program, including disproportionate numbers of leaders. To this day, the Boy Scouts remain an icon of the sort of citizen that once made America exceptional and proud. But times have changed, for better and for worse. As this is writ- ten, the Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy. The organization has been tossed about by cultural waves, the most recent relating to changing norms around gender and sexuality. The brand car- ries baggage. Functionally, Scouting has been damaged by declines in volunteering and community activity, the shifting structure of modern families, conflicting messages around basic notions of masculinity, and pervasive cultural swells toward self-advancement, away from character and community. -

3Rd Epsom Scout Group Official History
3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History 3rd Epsom Scout Group Official History Version 8 Compiled 2018 This history has been compiled from such records such as St. Martin's Church magazine, minutes of Group committees, AGMs, log books and the history of Epsom and Ewell District. Many thanks are owed to David Faulkner who has compiled the majority of the history up to 1992 together with other people associated with the Scout Group, particularly the Collins family, Leslie and Edith Clark, Michael Arthur, Shirley Quemby (nee Moore) and Richard Ascough. We hope you enjoy reading this history and feel that you then know a bit more about the Group as the longest continuous registered Group in Epsom and Ewell. Inevitably there will be omissions and errors, therefore if anyone has any additions or corrections, however small, they would be very much appreciated. Richard Ascough Group Scout Leader Version 8 Page 1 3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History The 1990's This new decade started with so much happening that it is difficult to know where to begin. The programme of the refurbishment and modernisation of the HQ was now in hand and work had already started. The total cost was estimated at £24,000 and towards this the HQ Committee had "saved" about £5,000 (mainly because fundraising had continued very profitably but little work had been carried out while the lease was negotiated); and the Church had generously donated £3,000. Another benefactor now appeared in the Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Councillor Robert Lewis who although he had no positive connection with the Group (other than that the Mayor's Secretary, Maureen Chartres, was a former parent) adopted St.
