Boy Scout Square Knot Awards. Comments: Mar 0. 8, 2.
Richard M. Misanko. This is a very good site and very thorough with requirementes listed for all of the BSA knot awards. I have heard some say 9 others say 1. Scouters Training Award - see scouting. May 2. 5, 2. 01. 2 - Marcy Owens.
As per BSA Insignia Guide. Knots are worn above the left pocket in rows of three.
The order of wearing of medals and knots is at the discretion of the wearer. It is suggested that the medal or knot deemed most important by the wearer be worn on his or her own right. Embroidered knots are representative of pin- on medals or around- the- neck awards and are designed for the convenience of the wearer. In the case of the District Award of Merit and Professional Training Award, the knot is the only wearable insignia. Hirtle. This is a great resource page.
I have a question, however. My dad (late) was an Eagle in.
Boston area, He would later earn his Palms. While a Missionary in the Canal Zone in the late 4. Scouting Executive. Any suggestions? Jun 2. Yukon Jack. David.
The bronze octagonal medal you describe sounds like the old BSA archery medal. I know adults can earn this award, but I was wondering if a venturing scout could earn it. I would very much so like to wear such an odd knot on my uniform but I will not until I know for sure it is approved/legal. Also, there is a scout in my troop wearing some knots that I did not recognize here. I looked up the colors and saw that they were unofficial. One was the BSA Lifeguard knot, one was a Friends of Scouting volunteer knot, and one was a Historic Trails award knot.
Are any/all of these knots okay/legal to wear? Or should I tell him to take them off? I also saw that the historic trails one is a real patch, but it is meant for equipment decoration. The text was a little unclear, but it sounded like the BSA Lifeguard one was for your swimming trunks.
Jun 2. 9, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack. There are between 2. I would very much so like to wear such an odd knot on my uniform. Any ideas as to why? Aug 1. 0, 2. 01. 2 - Scouter Paul. Eagle. Cliff - See scouting. Training/Training.
Updates. aspx for details on the changes. I see that all of the requirements have to be completed after June 1, 2.
I feel there should be a Grandfather clause for those of us that meet the requirements prior to the established date. Aug 1. 3, 2. 01. 2 - Scouter Paul. Stephen - in the description of the PTC award, it says a purpose is to promote return trips to Philmont.
Serve on a local council alumni or National Eagle Scout Association committee for one year. I'm not an Eagle Scout, made it as far as Life Scout.
Do you have to be an Eagle Scout in order to be on the NESA committee? There's no Local Alumni Council in the Greater New York Council. How can I complete this last requirement?
Aug 1. 7, 2. 01. 2 - Scouter Paul. Stanley - You need to be an Eagle Scout to be on a council NESA committee - see nesa. Without a local council alumni relations committee, you can't get approval for this award since it needs to be approved by both the council Scout Executive and alumni committee chair. I would recommend that you try it out before trying to waive the requirement. Scout U is more for Boy Scout Leaders, but still worth the effort.
Like a watered down Pow Wow for Cub Leaders. Aug 2. 2, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack. If your district doesn't have cub scout leader Pow Wows, or they are too infrequent, consider volunteering yourself to the district committee (or one of your superb den leaders) and host them. These devices are going to prove a pain I'm sure.
They will increase 'chest clutter' (???!) and will prove to be more snaggy than snazzy, i. My boy made a symphony if pings every time he untucked his shirt after a Pack meeting.
Really, knots invited questions from the boys, whereas one lonely knot with multiple, tiny, little gobs of easily lost fake gold will invite snags and lost pins and nary a glance or question from anyone. Aug 2. 2, 2. 01. 2 - Mike. KNRThe remainder of my comment was.. And what have we lost now that theiy're gone? To you folks that deplore knots for some reason I would say you should be silently proud to have served and let the knots speak for themselves to the Scouts that will inevitably ask 'What are those patches for Mr.
Smith?' This the only inarguable reason to wear them, I believe. Just refer them to this excellent page for an explanation of what you did to earn them. Tells the youths that Eagle is far from the end of their trail if nothing else..
Outstanding!!! Aug 2. Dave ONow that the Cubmaster Award has been retired, are active Cubmasters who have received the Cubmaster award able to receive the replacement . Spurgeon III Award under the discontinued knots section? Spurgeon III Award for that matter.. Learning for Life Explorer program (no BSA style uniform), it might as well be. I think that it makes no sense at all.
Why can't both square knots be worn? I became an Eagle Scout a while back, and I do want to be an NESA member, but I don't want to wear either my Eagle Scout or NESA Membership knots. I want to wear both, to prove to people that I am an Eagle Scout, and an NESA member. Sep 0. 1, 2. 01. 2 - Scouter Paul. Stuart - you should contact NESA about . Webelos Leader in September 2. Webelos Den Leader September 2.
Do I qualify to receive the yellow on yellow Webelos Knot? My boys will crossover to Boy Scouts and receive their Arrow of Light in March 2. I'm not sure if I meet the deadline Dec. I assume the last webelos leaders to receive the yellow webelos knot would be the ones coming up.
Webelos - they are just Webelos scouts. Sep 0. 9, 2. 01. 2 - Stuart Lind.
Thank you Scouter Paul. I just needed a little clarification on why. Sep 1. 1, 2. 01. 2 - Joesf Patterson@Stuart Lind The NESA knot is a lot different than the regular eagle knot. It is very distinguished with a silver border that stands out vs a tan border that blends in. There is no reason to wear both of them. Sep 1. 1, 2. 01. 2 - Larry Green.
So.. as on who has his Scouter's Key as a Scoutmaster, and the blue on yellow Cubmaster knot, I can now remove the Cubmaster knot and get a Cub Scout device and a Boy Scout device and afix both to the Scouter's Key knot? Sep 1. 2, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack. While you can remove the Cubmaster Award knot and wear two devices on the Scouter's Key knot, they are not really the same award. However 2. 01. 2 is the last year a participant can earn the knot as they have been phased out as well. Sep 1. 7, 2. 01. 2 - Stuart Lind.
I'm just throwing this question out there. Since the National Medal for Outdoor Achievement is a fairly new award, is there talk about making a square knot for it, or will it be just another award without a square knot? Sep 1. 7, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@Stuart. Sep 1. 9, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@ Michael. I have direct information, which is why posted the information to be beneficial to those who utilize this site. I have served on numerous Sea.
Badge courses throughout my BSA career. Sep 2. 0, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack. Mike. I'm right in the middle of my tenure for earning the Cub Scouter knot and will earn it before the cut off date, would that tenure also go toward Scout leader training award? Or would two more years be required? I'm sure in the spirit of the award two additional years would be required, but I'm just wondering everyone opinion. Sep 2. 0, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@ Josef. So what should I do to get it?
Do I need cubmaster approval (or someone's approval) or can I just buy it myself on my honor? Sep 2. 3, 2. 01. 2 - Overseas Pack Chair. Thank you for the invaluable information! IS THIS AWARD BEING DISCONTINUED? National and Regional Awards have been eliminated and only awarded on the Council level. Thanks. Oct 0. 1, 2.
Yukon Jack@Randall. This position wiill qualify me for the Cub. Scouter Award Knot for my 2. Is there a site that has a picture of it? Oct 0. 3, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack. The N. O. V. A. True there is no actual specified limit. Marcy's quote from the book skipped a sentence though.
Love this site, what a wonderful resource to have. Oct 2. 4, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@ Mr. If you look at the progression there is one for Arrow of Light, Eagle Scout, and Venture Silver. When you include the religious knot every level of Scouting participation is represented via knots with the exception of Varsity Scouting. Why is this gap allowed to continue?
Is Varsity Scouting the proverbial red headed step child of the BSA? Nov 1. 2, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@ Andrew. Can they be replaced by three Cub Scout devices, worn on my Boy Scout Leader's Training Award knot? Nov 1. 3, 2. 01. 2 - Jay Kuivinen Oh, my thinking now is, put two devices on the Den Leader award, one for Tiger and one for WEBELOS.. The Den Leader award is not discontnued (?) Nov 1. Yukon Jack@ Jay. I am a Class of 8.
Eagle Scout with about 2. I recently gor re- involved due to my youngest son wanting to join cub scouts, so as an .
Thanks all for the information, I found it very interesting. Nov 2. 6, 2. 01. 2 - Gerald Mc.
New. I was recently awarded a District Committe Key and a Unit Commissioner Key. If a scout leader joins the Boy scouts of America and has honor and awards knots from another scouting organization. Can he ware the knots on the BSA uniform? Nov 3. 0, 2. 01. 2 - Yukon Jack@ Eric. Fred Roming of Maryland, who received two Bronze Honor Medals in 1. I have been involved for two years and have never seen my Pack give any awards out to it's leaders. I think it's because the emphasis is on the kids achievments and not the adults.
I am interested in this as we have several leaders that have been involved for quite a while and should/could be recognized. Thoughts? Dec 0. 7, 2. Scouter Paul. Rick - Much of the giving of awards has to do with the culture of the individual Pack. There are two right now, a Webelos device and a Cub Scout device. Since they are combining the Den Leader awards are there going to be separate devices for each den?
