What Is That On Your Uniform?

Uniform seems to be a big concern with a great deal of leadership out there. Many of the top-rated videos on this channel have to do with uniforms and patches. Join ScouterStan as he describes his uniform and the story that it tells. Have you ever had to explain patches on your uniform? Not many of the adult leadership are actively uniform inspected. However, they need to set the example however they can. Have you ever wondered what something was on an adult's uniform and didn't ask? Does your district or council have some kind of patch that identifies a particular program or service? This interactive video asks the question what's that on your uniform?

🔑 Show Notes:
I get questions about my uniform patches all the time. I believe that wearing unique patches opens up a dialogue in the story that my uniform shirt tells. There are leaders out there who wear blank shirts with little or no patches on them. To do this regular basis can be perceived as being deceitful. As an example, I'm going to go through the items that I normally wear on this channel. This shirt is the one I wear when I'm representing my district as a neighborhood unit commissioner. There are times when this can be beneficial. Troop guides at Wood Badge often start the week with a plain shirt. This is to get the participants to focus on leadership development within their patrol instead of relying on the perception of leadership from their guide.
