hendrickms24 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hello all, Did the BSA discontinue the National Honor Patrol flag ribbon? The reason I asked is when I was in and the patrol earn this honor (I think it was the Baden- Powell Patrol back then) anyone could tell by the ribbons on the Patrol flag. I really thing the ribbons are a good idea for inter patrol rivalry. Mark M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narraticong Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I don't remember about the Honor atrol ribbon. I guess I was never in an Honor Patrol! But I do remember getting ribbons for Camporees, etc. It really made your troop and patrol flags look like you had accomplished something. Other than Quality UNit, our Council does not seem to use them. I wish we would go back to them. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntrog8r Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I don't recall an official streamer or ribbon for the Patrol flag for the Baden-Powell Patrol award, but certainly there may have been. Most of the things I remember getting for the Patrol flag and that I've given out for Patrol flags have been made or found in shops. We've done shrinky dinks, painted pine cones, stuff from scrapbook departments, pieces of fur and feathers, beads, etc. Supply division does sell "Patrol Competition" ribbons for 1st thru 3rd, but they aren't "flag ready" as is. For the Honor Patrol award, we presented a glow in the dark plastic star and the Patrol members put their names on one side of it before hanging on their flag.

jeff-o Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't remember way back when. In the Scout book today, it shows a small star that goes around the patrol patch for honor patrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrickms24 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 I guess that means it's been discontinued then. Back when I was a scout Baden-Powell Patrol awards were the small star that goes around the patrol patch for each patrol member and a ribbon for the patrol flag.

Buffalo Skipper Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I had been wondering the same thing. We have 3 patrols which, if they stick to it, will earn the NHP next month. In addition to the star on the uniform, I want to reward them with something to put on their flag which all around them can see. The NHP has not been earned in our district in recent memory (and never in our troop under that name), and I want the patrols to be able to show it off at the next camporee. By then, they could have earned it a second time as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
