Uniform Patch Placement

Message:

I just had a question from the parent of one of our new Scouts crossing over on patch placement. Here is an illustration that can help. Note that the Arrow of Light patch goes centered below the left pocket. The right pocket is a choice. Over your time in Scouting -- as soon as at Summer Camp! -- you will get a number of patches that can go there. When you end up with a lot more patches to show off than you uniform can hold, that's what vests are for.

Leave No Trace guidance on sustainably collecting firewood for a campfire.

Message:

Campfires can be a big part of any camping trip. In addition to knowing how to put out a fire, considering where our firewood comes from is an essential piece in having a Leave No Trace campfire. If collecting wood from the surrounding ecosystem is allowed, following the 4 D's of wood collection will help us leave minimal impact on the environment.
