[philmont] Red Jac shirt

From: Jerry Thompson
 I was given a Red wool Jac-Shirt and am looking for the proper insignia to
put on it.

Do I put our council patch on the shoulder along with troop numbers?
Does anyone have the correct emblems and placements for this??

 Oh, this is a real can of worms. The "official" allowed wearing of patches
on the red jac shirt is provided in the insignia guide. The uniform police
(with full enforcement powers) will tell you that you must follow the
guidelines of the insignia guide. They will attempt to lay a guilt trip on
you about how scouts are trustworthy and failing to follow the guide is
a bad example to your youth.

In a nutshell, no, you cannot put either your troop number or your CSP
on the sleeve. You can put an official BSA patch on the front, ONE
official jacket patch from a limited list on the back and the bull, loon or
conch on the left shoulder. That's pretty much IT, though I may have
neglected one or two other options.

Now, if you are not so fastidious about the official rules, it's your jacket
and you can do with it as you please. If you want to look like a Christmas
tree, that is your choice. That's what I chose :-).
