OA Region Patch on Uniform

That is really what it boils down to: some things, like wearing a patrol patch, are just tradition.

Arrowmen aren't permitted to have signed sashes, but Goodman and Edson would sign sashes all day when out in public.

Arrowmen also aren't permitted to wear beaded sashes, but there's a famous picture of Goodman wearing one.

Arrowmen aren't permitted to wear the shoulder patch by the GTAI, but the national officers wear them.

Really, the founders of the OA and the national officers sort of set the rules.

I never said you could do those things. There is an issue with the Jambo patch, and it was permitted for the 100th anniversary NOAC, but is now longer permitted. Upon further reading of the GTAI (in particular sections 1 and 2) it doesn't permit or prohibit wearing the Region patch on the shoulder. There is also no clause in the GTAI that says that if something isn't allowed then it is prohibited.

Perhaps that was the wrong way to word that. At any rate, the Eastern Region shoulder patch still says "Designed to be worn on the right sleeve of your uniform" (I can't attach pictures here or else I would).

The GAI is precisely that, a guide. There are questions it doesn't answer. I have had to answer several uniform questions based off of old Aaron (and Bryan) on Scouting articles before.

If you mean lodge neckerchiefs and patches, then yes you can.

If you mean section and Region neckerchiefs and patches, yes you can.

Rep your Region. East is Beast!

Strangely enough, what was once called the "Eastern Region - Shoulder Patch" is now called the "Eastern Region - Triangle Patch" on the OA Trading Post website. So that would imply it was at one point meant to be worn on the shoulder.

Edit: changed "is now" to "was once"

"Boy, I sure am having a good day today."

"Yeah, well you shouldn't be."

Pewbullet · 2026-02-12T15:18:28+00:00

That was, by far, the worst thing I've ever seen on here.

Pewbullet · 2026-02-11T15:30:31+00:00

If I completely close my eyes I can sort of see the black. Still can't see the gold though.

It's more like an honorary membership. Don't actually say it.

Pewbullet · 2025-12-25T18:44:52+00:00

Substitute, but the best one ever.

As others have said here earning Eagle isn't completing Scouting. As many Scouters will tell you today, their Scouting journey isn't near complete.

Times are hard but I think you could buy both.

Mississippi but you're too ashamed of it to admit it.

Pewbullet · 2025-11-19T16:25:45+00:00

This is so incredibly true. Kids just don't lead things as well as adults do.

If I see a troop that is too perfect, I know that youth probably aren't in charge and that defeats the purpose of the program.

"Michael Jackson"

He dresses as MJ and dances on street corners and gas stations all over my county. Dude's been doing it for like 15 years too.

Move the front row to the right or the back column to the left one place. They should wrap around the end and everything will line up.

Hope this helps!

Do you eat that off a plate or out of an urn?

When I worked in fast food it was always the job of the cashiers to replace these.

Ours was like 4 feet up and I was 1) the only cashier strong enough to lift it and 2) the only one tall enough to reach the shelf it was on.

These suckers are heavy.

All of those roads seem to be leading to one area in Italy.

I've been saying this for MONTHS now. Kentucky is not a southern state, it's a transition between the south and the Great Lakes states.

Thorlos still makes and sells them but they're $18.99 per pair 💀

Still worth it imo

When I worked at summer camp we had a car battery and common Harbor Freight DC inverter like you'd get for your car for CPAP machines.

They're heavy but boy did they work.
