Scout Patches

Girl and Boy Scout Patches That Go Beyond the Merit System

Whether it’s an outdoor activity award or a STEM science badge designed by NASA, every scout patch is earned by experiencing and learning new things. Even the uniform patches that new members get when signing up have a specific meaning. They represent the scouts’ oath and mission to be kind, loyal and trustworthy individuals.

Not all of the patches a scout earns are among the 135 official merit badges; however, each one is special. Here at Signature Patches, we help design boy and girl scout patches that commemorate special anniversaries and gatherings like the World Scout Jamboree, and unique badges for individual dens of Cub Scouts and local troops of Webelos Scouts.

Custom Scout Patches and Merit Badges

There are a couple of popular ways that these kinds of custom patches are used. For any type of scout uniform patch like Webelos emblem patches or troop number patches, there are set standards for the size and type of patch that’s acceptable. Boy and girl scout patch placement is also standardized for official patches. For instance, a scout’s council insignia and unit number patches always go on the left sleeve.

However, there is also room on the uniform for patches created for individual troops and councils. Most scout uniform patches, whether they’re custom made for your local area or official badges from the Boy Scouts of America, are embroidery designs. Embroidered patches have a classic look and a threaded texture that’s very familiar to every scout.

Our customers almost always choose embroidered patches for their merit badge and scout patch designs so they look like all the classic patches in the organization. However, we also offer woven patches that have smoother surfaces and offer finer details.

Woven patches are perfect for Cub Scout patch designs featuring animal logos like the lion, tiger, bear or bobcat associated with different levels of the scouts. The tighter weave pattern gives artwork on woven patches a sharper appearance than a classic embroidered design, so things like animal facial features or wild landscapes will turn out beautifully detailed.

No matter what kind of activity or event custom scout patches are created for, our team here at Signature Patches expects them to be spending a lot of time in the great outdoors. With that in mind, we take special care to ensure that every product we create meets the industry’s highest quality standards. You can rest easy knowing each patch will survive the wear and tear of life outdoors and last through multiple washes.
