Council Shoulder Patches

Since the early days of the Boy Scout program, patches have been used to identify where a Scout was from. Starting in 1930 community and state strips were worn on the uniform’s left shoulder above the unit number. The strips matched the uniform material, khaki for Boy Scouts, dark blue for Cub Scouts, white or navy blue for Sea Scouts, and dark green for Explorers. In 1953 these community strips were all embroidered with white thread on red twill cloth. At this time BSA councils began using Red & White Strips (RWS) which were worn by professionals and volunteers that represented the council at national events.

In 1970 the BSA approved the use of new Council Shoulder Patches (CSP) for wear on uniforms by Scouts and Scouters. These patches used new colorful designs that incorporated images from each council. By 1975 most councils were using CSPs. For the 1977 National Jamboree some councils issued special Jamboree Shoulder Patches (JSP). In the early 1980s councils began issuing special Shoulder Activity Patches (SAP) for council events. Soon patches were being issued for anniversaries, recruiters, Friends of Scouting, and High Adventure contingents.

This booklet contains a checklist and scans of most of the CSPs, SAPs, and JSPs that have been issued by the Old North State Council and its preceding councils.

Old North State Council Formation

The Old North State Council was established in 1992 with the merger of General Greene Council that covered Guilford and Randolph counties and Uwharrie Council that was made up of High Point, Davie, and Davidson counties. In 1994 the four counties of Cherokee Council (Alamance, Caswell, Person and Rockingham) joined the other four to reach the council’s present configuration.
