ulmapache 10 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have a patch from when I was in Cub Scouts in Baumholder Germany in the late '50's early '60's, can anyone identify it? It was attached to my "arrow" award, but I don't think it has anything to do w/ award. Might be attendance/longevity patch. Any assistance is appreciated. Thx!!! It is blue with 2 gold bars on it like an Army 2nd LT insignia. Link to post Share on other sites
Papadaddy 121 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 THat would be a "Denner" patch, worn on the left sleeve under the Pack number. Asst Denner had one gold bar. The Denner was the Cub Scout equivalent to a Patrol Leader. Link to post Share on other sites
ulmapache 10 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks much, I have given the patch to my grandson who is a cub scout...now for the other question...what does he have to do to become a "Denner" so he can wear the patch?? Or is it obsolete?...Hope not!! Link to post Share on other sites
moxieman 11 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 They now wear a yellow cord around their shoulder instead of a patch for that position: http://www.scoutstuff.org/denner.html Now, if you have a vintage Cub Uniform he fits in, then he could wear that patch.(This message has been edited by moxieman) Link to post Share on other sites
Papadaddy 121 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 THe Denner position is usually rotated among all the boys...been a while since I've been in Cubs, but I think it can be elected or appointed by the Den Leader. I was not happy when they went to the gold cord...they seem to get ripped off a lot, since cubs are so active. I guess better than sewing and removing patches. Link to post Share on other sites
BSA24 10 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You can wear vintage patches mix and match with the new uniform. Anything that was ever official uniforming is official uniforming today. You can wear an old square tenderfoot badge on your new uniform. It's not a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1615 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I guess there is "can" and "should". Adults "should not" wear youth badges on the adult uniform. Save your vintage patch for your display board or blanket or maybe your Wool Jacshirt. Oh wait... You were asking about a CS wearing a vintage CS patch. Yep, he can do that. But the new Denner patch might fit better and he could save dads patch for HIS display board? Link to post Share on other sites
