Left Front Insignia (Cub Scout)
This is the insignia which goes on the LEFT SIDE of the front of
Cub Scout uniforms. Separate pages address Boy
Scouts, Varsity Scouts and Venturers'; and adult volunteer/professional
insignia which is worn on the LEFT FRONT of the uniform shirt.
Regardless of the color of the uniform shirt, the placement of Cub Scout insignia is the same.
The insignia may be sewn onto the shirt, or attached to the shirt through a special see-thru
plastic holder which is attached to the left pocket button. This holder, while official, is
not personally recommended because there is no place on the holder for the Arrow Points earned
by the Cub Scout -- you end up sewing them to the shirt anyhow, so you might as well sew the
other insignia there as well. Besides, the complaint that "I'll have to buy a new shirt when
he becomes a Boy Scout" is very valid and true -- very few WEBELOS Cub Scouts will not outgrow the Cub
Scout shirt before he turns 10 and a half or 11 years old and you would have to purchase or obtain
a new Boy Scout shirt then anyhow.
You may also download a template which is "actual
size" and you can place on the shoulder and "match up" the location of the
insignia. The template is done using Adobe's(tm)
Acrobat Reader program. Again, there is a separate page
which has a template for Boy Scouting-specific insignia.
Basic rule of Scouting uniform is NEATNESS. Things do NOT have to be "exact" and
nobody should expect every uniform to match up exactly to the templates provided
here nor to a ruler or metric. The most important part is that the insignia is
CLOSE TO or NEAR where it SHOULD be, and that the insignia reflects the CURRENT
STATUS of the individual wearing the uniform.
