From the beginning, BSA encouraged boys to come
up with their own patrol medallions, while at the same time offering
inexpensive medallions through National Supply offices. To facilitate
this, they even offered patrol medallion blanks to make it easier
for Scouts to come up with their own personalized patrol emblems.
In recent years, the Custom Design arm of National Supply has
offered to produce custom emblems for patrols in small quanities.
We have been told that these may be samples produced by BSA's
Custom Design shop to illustrate some of the possibilities. If
you know more about any of these, or have others that we can
add to this collection, please let us know.

- Note: We received this
additional information from Richard Orchard in September 2004.
- "This emblem was created in 1993, My patrol,
The "Hobbes", patrol for the 1993 National Jamboree
in troop 1228 created this patch with the artistic talent of
one of my Assistant Patrol Leader (I was Patrol Leader of the
Hobbes Patrol). The patch was never meant to be circulated,
but we made the mistake of having the patches made through the
BSA service center, which of course was authorized to reproduce
the patch as they so deemed if we produced the patch through
them. The patch became widely available for the first time through
the BSA catalog in 1994."
