Each of the five troops in our council will be designing their own Jamboree Shoulder Patch (JSP). There will also be a center pentagon shape patch designed so that the five council JSPs will fit around it in a flower shape. This will create a six patch set that will make these JSPs popular trading items at the Jamboree.
For those who would like to design a potential JSP for our troop, you are encouraged to do so and present it to the troop at our overnighter in October. The JSP chosen by the troop will then be presented to the Jamboree Committee for approval. Each JSP must follow certain guidelines, and for the Troop 947 JSP, the following should be adhered to in designing the JSP.
The design must include the name of the council, Las Vegas Area Council. The design must contain the BSA universal emblem or a fleur-de-lis. It should show that it is a Jamboree patch by included words such as 2010 National Jamboree or 2010 National Scout Jamboree. The 2010 National Jamboree logo can not be used. We must have written permission to use any third party marks or phrases. The size of the patch is the standard 5”x2” CSP as seen in the picture.
The theme for our troop is the Valley of Fire and the theme should be used in the design along with the Gila monster which is our troop critter. Optional are the numbers 947 or Troop 947.
When designing the patch, think to yourself, “Is this a patch that I would want to trade for at the Jamboree?” Use colors to embolden the design and make it stand out. The better it is, the more scouts will want to trade with you to get it. Use your imagination. Should the Gila monster just lay there like a boring lizard, or is it working on his tan, or eating, or running, or playing football, or carving petroglyphs like the ancient Anasazi Indians. Is the Valley of Fire a collection of red rocks or is it truly on fire. What color should the border be? What font, size and color should the words be?
The more designs we come up with, the better the chance that we’ll find one that we can truly be proud to wear on our uniform. So don’t be afraid to bring more than one design if you like.
Good Luck
