Scout Patches Reward Scouts Who Reach Their Goals
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts emphasize ideals of personal fitness, citizenship training and character development. Scout patches are issued to recognize the achievements of boys and girls as they strive to reach the noble goals of their respective organizations.
From Cub Scout or Brownie to adult, Scouts work to earn embroidered Scout patches or merit badges to show that they have reached their goals within a particular area. Scouts at all levels wear Scout patches proudly to display their accomplishments.
Scout patches are as old as the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts can earn merit badges in more than 100 categories, including areas such as woodworking, fly fishing, theater, business and many others. Adult leaders can earn Scout patches by completing their own training requirements as well.
Girl Scouts can earn patches, badges and insignia too, based on their organization's individual activities and programs. Girl Scout patches can be worn on uniforms or sashes for display.
Scouts earn Scout patches by working at their own pace in their personal areas of interest. Merit badges are awarded after a Scout completes the requirements for the patches, which will vary with the categories for each Scout patch.
Scout patches can be ordered with iron-on backing, but are most often sewn onto uniforms. The best way to use the iron-on backing is to allow it to hold the Scout patches in place as they are being sewn on. This helps ensure the patches are sewn on correctly. The iron-on backing alone can be used, but this will not be as durable as sewing on the patches.
All reputable providers of Scout patches today use state of the art custom embroidery machines to create the fine-quality patches that Scouting organizations expect. Computer controlled, high-precision embroidery machines create every aspect of the Scout patches in a uniform, well-crafted design that can be seen clearly.
Scouting memorabilia, including Scout patches, is widely available online for sale or trade. Many people make a hobby of collecting Scout patches. Collectible patches are big business, with one rare patch selling recently for $30,000. Collectors say the sales of collectible Scout patches are a multi-million dollar a year business. Patch collectors gather each year at events know as "trade-o-rees" to swap patches among each other.
For some collectors, collecting Scout patches is a way to recall their own happy days in Scouting when they were younger. Others collect them for their value, or for their artwork. Some collect "Order of the Arrow" patches, highly valued, rare Scout patches issued by the Boy Scouts' honor society.
Scout patches are just one example of the many styles of custom patches that contemporary patch companies can provide. It's never been easier, using today's digitally controlled embroidery machines, to create attractive, durable custom patches for firefighters, military units, bands, businesses, or any other organization. Scout patches are produced on the same factory lines as many other patch styles.
The traditional role of Scout patches continues today as it has for many years, whether for Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. Reputable suppliers of Scout patches can quickly provide top-quality patches at affordable prices and with great service.
