| | | Boy Scout style Cap Badges
So do any of you lads out there have a balmoral cap badge in a Boy Scout style? I recently purchased the BSA hat pin ( http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/...v=3&item=50150) but it seems to my eye to be too small to be an effective cap badge for a balmoral. Have any of you you Eagles out there come across anything in that line that would work for a cap badge?

When I was in Scouts there were rank pins you could move from uniform to uniform, the First Class Rank pin probably has the size you're looking for. It would be a brass/gold finish fleur de lis with the eagle over it and the be prepared scroll with a small wire knot at the bottom...
Good luck!

While it is a little on the small side (about 3/4" smaller than a clan badge), you could add a cockade of some sort or a rosette to it. http://www.just2tailors.com/?category=Accessories

There's another "brimmed hat" shows with the first-class insignia pin, although the text implies that it's this one or another universal emblem??? Brimmed hat shown with pin.

With the approval of the BSA and enough demand (which I bet there would be) you could work to develop a Boy Scout cap badge that will "fit" a bonnet http://www.scotmall.com/handforged/c...restbadge.html |

Good luck! | Rank pins should only be worn by boys of that rank. This is so adults don't overshadow the boys. Adults should only wear an Eagle pin if they earned it as a boy.
The hat pin or any universal pin should be used instead.
