Trevorum 24 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 To those of you who attended the Jamboree last summer - how many are planning to remove the Jambo patches after 6 months? What say the uniform police? Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 THe jambo participant/staff patch can be worn indefinitely above the right pocket. Jambo CSPs and OA flaps need to come off. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yep. I just realized that the 6 month point is almost here. Where has the time gone? It seems like just last month we were bivouaced on the Hill ... Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 My JSP isn't going anywhere-- the region patch i do need to remove, but the Jamboree patch above the right pocket and the JSP on my left sleeve isn't going anywhere. So send them after me. Before putting the JSP on, I had an old CSP so it isn't like they go out of date, or anything. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 See the way he walks down the street Watch the way he shuffles his feet How he holds his head up high When he goes walking by - He's my guy When he holds my hand I'm so proud 'Cos he's not just one of the crowd I bet he's always the one To try the things I've never done And just because of that they will say - Hey! He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does That's no reason why I can't give him all my love He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly He's not a rebel, no - no - no He's not a rebel, no - no - no - to me - e - e - e If they don't like him that way They won't like me after today I'll be standing right by his side - when they say He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does That's no reason why - we can't share a love He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly He's not a rebel, no - no - no He's not a rebel, no - no - no - to me - e - e - e (he's not a rebel - no - no - no) No - no - no (he's not a rebel - no - no - no) (he's not a rebel - no - no - no) No - no - no (he's not a rebel - no - no - no) Link to post Share on other sites
purcelce 11 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Being a Assistant Jr Deputy of the UP here's my take on the spin. Jambo patch above the pocket - can be worn forever CSP - It's an official csp from the council, wear it. I wear a 2003 council fos csp on my uniform. OA flap - same as csp. Unit number - change to your local unit. I don't have a uniform guide handy so I can't give an official ruling Link to post Share on other sites

jr56 92 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Jamboree patch can be worn in the Jamboree patch position above the right pocket forever. Technically the Jamboree CSP and OA lodge flap are suppossed to come off after 6 months, but my Council Exec told me after the 2001 Jambo he didn't care, I could still wear them if I desired. So yes, The CSP and OA lodge flap should come off, but ask your local Council Exec, it might be okay with them too. Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 During National Jamboree years, special Jamboree Shoulder Patches (JSPs) are worn by those participating in the Jamboree from that local Council. Six months after the conclusion of the Jamboree, the JSP should be removed and replaced by the current Council Shoulder Patch (CSP) of the local Council for proper uniforming. The problem in my council is that they are forever creating new "special" CSPs (Wood Badge, FOS, Jamboree, Special for those contributing mega bucks, and on and on). Therefore, no "regular" CSP exists in my mind. So, technically, maybe one should not wear the JSP but practically (and in reality) many do. Jamboree Patch - May be worn for an eternity but only one! (No combos of World and National or National 2001 and 2005, etc.) As for the OA flap - A "current" OA flap of the lodge to which you are member (paid up dues!) may be worn on the right packet flap. If you are non-active arrowmen, you may wear the OA ribbon. Just like the CSP vs. JSP, my lodge keeps changing the OA flap as a fund raiser so what is "current" or standard is anyones guess. The region patch - some even argued if it belongs on the Jambo uniform - comes off rather quickly I think. Same goes for troop number. Also - please remember that the Scout Executive has carte blanche (almost) to make "special" uniform decisions. (This message has been edited by a staff member.) Link to post Share on other sites

Region 7 Voyageur 10 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 acco40, you posted what appeared to be a quote from some BSA publication or possibly a communication that was sent to jamboree participants. I am curious as to what the source is for the quote. Link to post Share on other sites
Herms 10 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I attended the 81' Jambo and still wear my patch. I wear it for ME as it reminds me of one of the best expierences in my life. Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 "I attended the 81' Jambo and still wear my patch. I wear it for ME as it reminds me of one of the best expierences in my life." fine. do so. I still wear that patch as well. The issue of removing "jamboree patches" does NOT apply to the Jamboree patch itself. It refers to the OTHER jamboree patches, such as the JSP, Jambo lodge flap, Jambo troop numbers, and other patches relating to your jamboree troop (ie the office you held and patrol you were in). * Jamboree Patch. Wear it forever. No one should be hassing anyone who attended an old jamboree for wearing the patch. * JSP. Gray area. Per the rules you are supposed to remove the JSP and replace it with your current CSP. Most don't, and most people won't bug you about it. * Jamboree Region patch. Gray area. Few are really entitled to wear them either at the jamboree(ie those volunteering at the regional level at jamboree) or afterwards. Kids (and adults) who picked them up as souvenirs really shouldn't be wearing them. But again, what's the big issue. * Jamboree Lodge flaps. Gray area. Many lodges have a rule that you are supposed to be wearing only the current lodge flap. Others don't care. In some lodges, you'll see about 5-10 different flaps being worn. If the lodge leadership doesn't have an issue, why should you. (personally, I use velcro and only wear the current issue). * Jamboree Troop number. Sorry, but that troop no longer exists. You should have removed it and replaced it with your current unit number. Heck, I did that within a week of returning. * Jamboree patrol patch. Ditto. I did that within a week of returning. Then again, as SPL of my troop, I had no desire to be wearing a patrol patch on my uniform. * Jamboree Troop-related office patch. Ditto. I can understand unit leaders wanting their kids to have the correct unit numbers, patrol patches, and office patches. They shouldn't be worrying about the JSPs and Lodge flaps. And no one should think that you have to take a Jamboree Patch off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
