Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Patches
What is the minimum order for custom Boy Scout patches?
Most patch manufacturers require 25 to 50 patch minimum orders, though some offer lower minimums for small troops. Scout units typically order 50 to 100 patches ensuring adequate inventory for current members, new scouts, and replacements as uniforms need updating throughout active Scouting years, making volume ordering more economical for troops and packs.
Can boy scout custom unit numeral patches use any colours?
Yes, custom unit numeral patches can use various color combinations while maintaining readability and professional appearance. BSA guidelines require clear legibility and contrast but allow colour personalization reflecting unit traditions. Most troops choose colours matching council schemes or patrol themes while ensuring numbers remain readable from distance during formations and ceremonies throughout Scouting events.
How much do boy scout patrol patches custom designs cost?
Custom Boy Scout patrol patches typically cost $2 to $6 per patch depending on size, complexity, and order quantity. Simple patrol animal designs cost less than detailed custom artwork. Troops ordering patches for entire membership receive better per unit pricing, with most patrols needing 6 to 10 patches ensuring all patrol members have matching identification throughout meetings and campouts.
Where do boy scout uniform patches go on the shirt?
Boy Scout uniform patches follow BSA placement guidelines: troop number and council strip on right pocket area, council shoulder patch on left sleeve, position patches below council patch, patrol patch on right sleeve, and American flag below patrol patch. Temporary event patches attach to right pocket flap. Following proper placement ensures uniform inspection compliance throughout Scouting activities.
Can custom embroidered boy scout patches replace official merit badges?
No, custom embroidered patches cannot replace official BSA merit badges. Council approved merit badges must follow BSA designs meeting national standards for advancement program. Custom patches serve recognition for events, participation, and unit identity but do not fulfill merit badge requirements. Custom patches complement rather than replace official BSA insignia throughout Scouting advancement.
How long does it take to receive custom Boy Scout patches?
Standard custom Boy Scout patch production takes 10 to 15 business days from artwork approval, with shipping adding 3 to 5 days for delivery. Rush production completes in 5 to 7 business days for urgent needs including summer camp deadlines or ceremony dates. Scout units should plan orders 3 to 4 weeks before needed date ensuring patches arrive with adequate time for distribution to members.

I needed patches for an event and was worried about the timeline. Not only did they arrive on time, but the quality was outstanding. Very impressed!

Good quality patches at a reasonable price. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that one of the colors was slightly different than what I expected, but still looked good.
