I have no problem with a bead lanyard hanging from a pocket or in necklace form, or a properly placed temporary patch. What I do have a problem with is non-regulation shoulder loops, adults wearing cords, every pin known to man stuck somewhere on a uniform shirt, etc. ad nauseum.

To disagree with a previous comment, not everything earned or given is to be worn on the uniform. I've actually had scouts in the past who held the same that putting all the extra stuff made the uniform look trashy and unkempt. I wear all of my square knots and 3 mini devices, but I will not be seen with 2-3 dangling temporary patches, camporee pins on a pocket flap, non-standard shoulder loops, and other things that are not authorized for wear on the uniform as per the Insignia Control Guide. Maybe it's the military training in me, but a neat, tidy uniform looks best.

Push down and in on the little wings on the clutch back. This will often tighten the grip. I haven't lost a star or clutch back in years.
