tborgerding 10 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have seen a "Chairman Pack Committee" patch, but not a "Chairperson Pack Committee" patch. Is there a non gender specific patch for my Pack Chairperson? She is so awesome, but definitely not a man. I would like to buy some patches if someone can give me a link or some help here... Thanks!!

Chisos 118 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well, the one I got at our local scout shop just says "Pack Committee Chair" Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 4344 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The insignia guide shows "chair" patch (#18059), but http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/CubScouts/Leaders/About/ThePack/pcomm.aspx shows the old "chairman". Seeing that she is more homo-sapiens than furniture, I think the most appropriate designation is the latter. But, who am I to prescribe language? Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Personally, I think you are going overboard with the "PC" language. Chairman, although often referring to a male, is a generic term referring to the person (of either sex) in charge of a meeting, event, committee, department, or organization. If, for some strange reason, you are afraid that she will think you are calling her a male, and prefer referring to her as a piece of furniture instead, then order the position patch directly from BSA Supply - http://www.scoutstuff.org/pack-committee-chair-emblem.html#.VB2lJPldV8E Link to post Share on other sites
