BartHumphries 10 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So, unit numbers -- now that the centennial is over, it's back to red numbers for scout troops and green numbers for varsity crews? Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why would you think that? (and I think you meant Venturing crews, not Varsity). I very much doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites
NealOnWheels 73 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Still green numbers... http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/images/pdfs/Boy_Scout_UniformCklt.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
UCEagle72 10 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The whole move to more "muted" colors was in response to comments that the US scouts stood out too much at International events. So I doubt you will see the move back to the R&W numbers. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nope Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts wear the green and tan still. But if you have some in the centennial uniforms with the red numbers, or loops for that matter, it is still authorized. Per the pdfs that came out in May 2009 and were the only source of info on the new uniforms until April 2010 when the the IG came out, folks are allowed to mix and match uniform items ( that covers the Boy Scout and Varsity Scout side of things) and Webelos wearing the Boy Scout uniform, and their leaders, were suppose to wear the green and tan numbers and trained strip if applicable. So if you have any CS leaders and Webelos wearing the green and tans, they are OK too. They are wearing a "vintage 2009-2010 Uniform" Link to post Share on other sites
sherminator505 10 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 "The whole move to more "muted" colors was in response to comments that the US scouts stood out too much at International events." Yet we still have the red jac-shirt... Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 But not for long. national intends to replace the red jecket with the new green wool one. BTW anyone know where I can get replacement buttons at for the red jac shirt? Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 4342 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think Venturing #s are still white on a red field. (Even on the new shirt which everyone avoids buying.) Can anybody find a color guide for venturers? I'm terrible at navigating these sites. Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Venturing still uses the red/white numbers. This is stated in the Insignia Guide. Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas54 10 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "BTW anyone know where I can get replacement buttons at for the red jac shirt?" At Joe's button factory. But Joe is usually very busy. Link to post Share on other sites
BartHumphries 10 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 You might be able to buy some from scoutstuff.org -- they still sell the jacket there. Nothing came up in a search for "buttons" though except blazer buttons (wow, really expensive) and Sea Scout buttons and all the centennial clothing items. Link to post Share on other sites
