The Family Friends of Scouting presentations are well underway with many pack and troop leaders setting dates, times and locations for the 10- minute presentation to the parents of the Scouts. Part of the presentation is the opportunity to buy a Friends of Scouting shoulder strip for $100. It has been very popular and well-received by many as it showcases the United States Navy. Last year it was the Vermont National Guard and moving forward the patch will feature the other armed forces of Army, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Anyone can purchase this patch at any time during the year by filling out this form and emailing or mailing it to the Council Service Center or calling 802-244-5189 to place an order or emailing to info@scoutingvermont.org. Once payment is received, the patch with a thank you letter will be mailed to the address listed on the form or given to one of the Service Center staff members. Don’t delay, buy one today and collect the entire set. If you want last year’s patch featuring the Vermont National Guard, there are still some in stock at the same price of $100.
