Old_OX_Eagle83 212 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Old Office Patch on Cent Uniform Heres the question. Ive recently been made ASM of my sons troop, a position Ive held in other units before. Can I simply use my old position patch? The reason I ask is the shirt Id be putting it on is a centennial shirt, the patch is an old school green one. Typically Id be quick to say once uniform, always uniform, but I dont want to start off on the wrong foot here. Link to post Share on other sites
sherminator505 10 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 It should be fine. But why not accept a new patch if the troop offers you one? You could then retain the old one in your collection.(This message has been edited by sherminator505) Link to post Share on other sites
Old_OX_Eagle83 212 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks for the reply. The troop didn't offer a new patch. You make a good point, if they had been concerned about which one I wore they likely would have provided it. If you cant tell I prefer the old green patch, and am just trying to justify wearing it Ill be sure to refrain from knee socks and garters that might make the wrong impression, and is just scary anyway, lol.

Eagle92 110 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 LONG LIVE KNEE SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes I was shouting. I would not worry about the ASM patch. In fact the literature on the Centenial uniform from May 2008 to April 2010 stated that you can mix and match uniform items form the older ODL uniform form 1979 or therabouts, until Sept. 2009. And in fact they are still on clearance. So if you still got the red loops, you can wear them, as well as your red and white numbers. Link to post Share on other sites
Old_OX_Eagle83 212 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks Eagle 92. BTW, that wasn't a shot at knee socks, just my legs! Link to post Share on other sites
desertrat77 1144 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Definitely go with the old school patch! It's BSA heritage--conversation starter for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 best Christmas present ever was the 12 pairs of knee socks for the in-laws right as national was getting rid of them. Link to post Share on other sites
HICO_Eagle 93 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I was going to say get a new patch and send me your old beaten-up one Link to post Share on other sites
desertrat77 1144 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Eagle92, good memories about the knee socks! Wore them as a cub while living in the Panama Canal Zone...really liked them. Moved to AZ three weeks after crossing over, didn't wear them there. Certainly didn't wear them when we moved to AK--cold winter, mosquitos in the summer...... Link to post Share on other sites
