I'm not a uniform tzar, really I'm not.   Ok, maybe a little for leaders (set a good example, and all).   My question concerns how far the "once uniform, always uniform" rule of thumb can be t

Not a stretch at all. She should go for it, and be prepared to explain a little bit of scouting history along the way.   I was pleaseed to visit another troop's court of honor and there saw one bo

If she looks hot in it, why not ?

Ignore the old guy...........
In all seriousness, I think this looks great! What a perfect opportunity to talk about the history of scouting, the role of den mothers, etc. Anything to keep the scouts engaged is a good thing. If your wife is more comfortable in the dress, I say go for it! (Did I mention she looks great?)

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but the original World Crest that had to be earned was larger I think. Seems to me there was a time when you could still earn the large one, even while the small one was available. Am too lazy to go digging through stuff to verify, so taking the easy way out here.

Skeptic,

 

Are you referring to this?

the International Activity patch, both in a 3" and 5" back patch, is very similar to the WC. requirements are set by local councils. Don't know when they were created, but been around since 1986 or 87. One of my friends hosted a Canadian Scout for a Scouting function and got it. I know I have seen some folks wear it in the spot for the WC in the past.

 

They also made neckers, slides, hats, and jackets. Got the necker, and slide, when I went to Canada. Got a second set and the hat and jacket when I did the European Camp Staff Program.

 

Sometime after 1989 and before 1995, BSA came up with the International Youth Exchange patch. requirements for it were identical to the old WC ones EXCEPT limited to Boy Scouts, Explorers/Venturers. Whye Cubs could nto earn it, don't ask me. Here is a link with requirements and image i found but see below.

it looks like last year they replaced both the International Activity patch and International Youth Exchange patches with a new International Spirit Award with specific requirements for Cub Scouts, " Boy/Varsity/Venturer," and Scouter. More info on that is here
