It wasn’t part of my youth in the ‘82-‘96. Now I see adults wearing them on the lapels of their uniforms - all too often. 

I was presented with a set of pins when I earned my Eagle award in 2003. I think they may have come with my medal. I don't recall seeing many parent or mentor pins on display before then. If @mrjohns2hadn't seen them by 1996, I'm guessing they were first issued around 2000 - does anyone know for sure? I lean toward being more of a uniform minimalist, but I would probably wear an Eagle Dad pin someday if my son continues with Scouts.

Pins look nice on the pocket flap of a Jac-shirt, but have diminishing returns on an actual uniform shirt.

Perfect place for these types of things. Wear your eagle dad pin there and on your heart.

Here’s a great episode done by the national scouting museum about the history of the jac-shirt. He even references the guidelines and the flexibility of those guidelines for what it’s worth.
