CaptBurgers 1 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I appreciate all of the input so far, but I’m wanting to know about the 1960s collarless summer uniform for adults, I have a period council strip, I’m wondering about the way knots were done, like the Eagle or did they do an AoL knot? Also I have a religious award as a youth and I am a James E West recepient, would those be things found on an adult uniform back then? It’s not my actually uniform but this is a picture of the type that I have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TAHAWK 1420 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) "I’m wondering about the way knots were done, like the Eagle or did they do an AoL knot? " might you explain this question. The AOL knot goes in the same area as other knots so far as I know. The James E West Award, inclusive of its knot, was created in 1993. The knot for the youth religious award was introduced in 1971 and the knot for the adult emblems in 1973. Edited April 2, 2019 by TAHAWK Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3683 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) @CaptBurgers , the den chief cord should be over left shoulder. IMHO maybe add a Band-Aid, a defacto part of the uniform, to the knee or elbow. Edited April 3, 2019 by RememberSchiff 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HashTagScouts 437 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The aoL knot didn't come around until the late 70's. Not so sure about the Eagle Scout knot. Link to post Share on other sites
TAHAWK 1420 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Only adults wear the AOL knot. The AOL rank patch (if earned) may be worn on the Boy Scout uniform under the left pocket. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure when it first appeared, but I recall wearing one after having my Eagle COH on my 18th birthday. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I was a Den Chief in the 60s...the cord was worn over the right shoulder, attached to the MB sash when worn. As an Explorer in 1970, I wore the Eagle knot and religious award knot. The Eagle knot purchased from the Scout shop had the dark green background (not a private issue). I also recall the adult muckity-mucks of that era wearing knots such as Scouter's Key, Training Award, and Silver Beaver, among the few that were available. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3683 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I stand corrected. Hard to argue with Norman Rockwell's portrait of a young @scoutldr Link to post Share on other sites
