Boy Scout Patches Made Easy!

Are you concerned with how to attach Scout patches to your Scout’s uniform properly? Well, with a little bit of planning, Boy Scout patch placement doesn’t have to be complicated.

Any good embroidered patch provider will offer a range of attachment options for custom patches. Choosing a way that makes the task easier is a snap when you know a couple of tricks.

The most popular method of attaching patches to garments is by sewing them on. However, that is also the trickiest when it comes to aligning patches. It's easy for patches to shift and can be difficult to correct if not caught in time. If you are not proficient with a needle and thread, a tailor shop or seamstress is probably your best option.

But you have other options as well. Iron-on attachment is extremely popular. This means of attachment allows you to position a patch directly on a shirt or other garment and apply heat from an iron to melt the adhesive onto the cloth.

It's a much quicker process than sewing patches on. However, it can be less durable than sewn-on styles. For that reason, many folks choose the best of both worlds. Any iron-on patch can be positioned exactly as you want it, heat-set, then sewn permanently into place as well. The result is a permanent patch that is sure to outlast the apparel to which it's attached.

With either attachment, you can add plastic backing to the standard twill. This gives the patch a stiffer, more durable backing to make attaching the patch easier.

Other Attachment Options!
If you need a less permanent Boy Scout patch placement, Velcro backing is always a valid option. Using the standard hook and loop backing, this method allows quick removal and reattachment of patches as the situation warrants.

With some patches, button loops can be used for attachment as well. These can easily be slipped on or off of a shirt or jacket button as needed. No matter which way you choose to attach your Scout patches, the first step is finding a dependable patch provider.
