Can you wear the Totin' Chip emblem on the Boy Scout uniform?
Category: Boy Scouts of America
Although the Whittling Chip, Totin' Chip and Firem'n Chit emblems are almost the right shape to wear on the pocket flap, they are not intended for uniform wear. They are to be attached to a blanket, backpack or other equipment.
The Insignia Guide does not include these emblems, but ScoutStuff [linked] does note "not for uniform wear."
The only emblems worn on the right pocket flap are the Outdoors Activity Award for Cub Scouts, the Order of the Arrow lodge emblem for Boy Scouts and Venturers and the Corps of Discovery emblem for Venturers if the CoD is authorized by the local council.
Other emblems not intended for uniform wear include the 50 Miler Award and the Historic Trails Award.
