The Benefits of Using Embroidered Scout Patches

Many organizations use embroidered patches as a special sign of achievement or accomplishment by one of their members.  The Boys and Girls Scouts of about:home America are no different.  They have a long history of encouraging their members to perform special tasks or partake in special events that develop their members’ character in a good positive way.  As an incentive and reward, they offer special badges or embroidered scout patches for the children’s uniforms for all to see they have reached their goals.

All children enjoy receiving commemoration for the good they accomplish.  Receiving badges or patches as a reward for their accomplishments, helps encourage them to continue in a positive track by fostering good self-esteem as well as confidence in their abilities and talents.  Patches can also represent a sense of belonging as part of a special group or club which children value and respect.  There are many ways in which they can be used in children’s lives to reflect a positive image and symbol.

Embroidered scout patches can come in any number of beautiful designs and styles to represent different events or occasions.  As many of the shapes and sizes are already precut to order, you can choose whatever shape and size you need to suit the occasion.  In addition, you can choose the color of your patch background and edges as well as embroidery thread to outline your design.

Most embroidered patch designs allow you the option of choosing how much embroidery stitching to use on your patch to create your unique diagram or picture.  This is usually measured in percentage of embroidery thread used which can range anywhere from 25 percent to 50% to 100% filling.  The higher the percentage chosen, the more embroidery will be added to your design.  A patch with 100% embroidery will be covered in its entirety with stitching displaying a full and heavy appearance. Applying the patches to the uniforms can be done by sewing, ironing or using Velcro, whichever you desire. Sewing and ironing provide more permanent fixture while Velcro is more temporary. 

Children deserve and thrive on special recognition, whether as part of a group or on their own. Beautifully designed embroidered scout patches are one way to show that recognition. Regardless of the occasion, you can find a patch design to match that will make your child feel special and loved.
