Did you wear it next to or instead of the World Crest?

No. Most cub scouts and even scouts didn’t wear the world crest as they didn’t participate in an international activity.

Yes, that was my understanding of Scouts in that time.  Wasn't sure your time period.  I didn't join (Cub) until 1990 which I believe was the first or second year that the World Crest was standard part of the uniform and not an award.  Of course it was the first or second year where there weren't "Den Mothers" technically either but that hadn't been fully phased out obviously

So in the early 90's in my Pack we wore the WCA in the Jamboree position.  I see a few Packs around here still wear them there but no one earns it anymore.

It's sad to me to see this (and practically everything) moving to belt loops.  No one looks at the belt loops and it doesn't encourage the Scouts to be like "that's cool I want to do that" above and beyond what's required.

For me, I was a tiger in 1982. So this would have been 1983-1986. Crossed over in 1987.
