Chair person Pack Committee patch??

[tborgerding 10]

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!! Tim

Well, the one I got at our local scout shop just says "Pack Committee Chair"

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?

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 -
