I have read through everyone's comments today and I must admit I'm torn. As a former Marine I completely understand and respect the importance and value in doing everything possible to adhere to uniform regulations. Then on the other hand I find myself agreeing with Desertrat in believing that the mentor pin does absolutely nothing to discredit the uniform. It's a very small pin but carries quite a bit of meaning to its owner. My two cents for what its worth is that BSA should acknowledge the desire on behalf of the recipients of the pin and designate a spot on the uniform where it can be worn
