New Centennial Uniform Inspection forms
Warning In Progress
I am constantly being asked "where do my patches go on the new uniforms?" This is especially relevant to the "Trained" strip and the Commissioner's Arrowhead. I've seen Trained strip in multiple locations... on the arm pocket flap, under the pocket, over the pocket. It is my understanding that the Trained strip goes on the arm pocket flap. When will an updated uniform inspection form be distributed? While we're talking uniforms, can the button under the right pocket flap (for dangling your "temp" patches) be placed in the "normal" position? I've lost four patches that have falled off of the inverted button.

Patch placement on both uniforms are illustrated in the latest uniform insignia guide. The same illustrations are planned on the next revision of the uniform inspection form. The button issue will be forwarded to National Supply.

New uniform inspection sheets are already available on Scoutstuff.org

As of yesterday, Scouting.org still had the "old uniform" inspections linked for download.

I don't mind a sheet explaining where everything should go on the uniform, but I don't think uniform inspections are very relevant or desirable by youth in today's society.

Its not so much as to hold uniform inspections like a Marine Drill Sergeant, but to properly instruct and display the ranks, patches, CQU awards, trained strips and all of the other gear we wear on our uniforms. The purpose of wearing a uniform is to be "uniform", everyone's patches are straight and where they are supposed to be. A sharp looking unit represents Scouting and its goals. A sloppy unit is exactly that.

The new inspection sheet still does not tell me where to put the arrowhead patch as far as I could tell.

Nevermind, I found it, Left sleeve, immediately below council strip.
