cheffy 10 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 We want to get our troop trailer repainted. We found someone who will do it for a great price. Only issue is he wants to put a small thing like "painted by Joe's body shop" on the corner of the trailer. I don't have a problem but someone thought there my be issue with BSA policy. If there is someone let me know. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Do, we did and no one has complained in years. Lots of troops have the logo of businesses that donated money or services for thier trailer. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Do it and arrange with the local newspaper when he "presents" the trailer back to the trop to have pictures and a story on the trailer in the paper. It helps him and puts scouting in the publics eye Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 No problems here. Especially if you can get him to give you a cut in the price. Link to post Share on other sites
9muckraker7 11 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hey, a trailer is a trailer. It's a piece of troop equipment. I'm no lawyer, but unless there's an ordinance that says that all troop gear must not have any commercial logo on it, then it's ok to do what you've explained... Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Have you considered letting the boys paint the trailer? Link to post Share on other sites
anarchist 10 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 GO for it! so long as it is good taste..why not?But let the pros do it... We 1. found a friend to Donate a good used trailer then 2. found a good guy to professionally letter the sides... all for "free"...or 'for the good of scouting'... and yes both benefactors are acknowledged in small print on the bottom edge of the trailer...nothing but complements from everyone who has seen it! Good luck...keep the tire pressure up, spare and jack handy and keep the wheel bearings greased! Link to post Share on other sites
