Can't believe I missed that one. The James E. West Fellowship square knot is also available for youth to wear. Thank you so much for mentioning it. YIS⚜

Appreciate the great content! One more to add to the list for very specific cases, Sea Scout Quartermaster. If earned before turning 18 can be worn on Scouts BSA youth uniform, and always on Venturing uniform. A youth Sea Scout wearing their Sea Scout rank could wear the Eagle and/or Arrow of Light knots on the Sea Scout uniform, and the same for Venturers wearing their Venturing rank on their Venturing uniform. If one considers a youth Venturer or Sea Scout, who also serves in an adult position starting on or shortly thereafter their 18th birthday with a troop or pack then the training award knot could be completed between their 20 and 21st birthday and worn on their youth Venturing or Sea Scout uniform. A few other service award knots would also fall into this category too but would be less likely.

Very good point. The youth definition is different with Venturing and Sea Scouts and adds an additional wrinkle to everything. Thank you so much for mentioning the additional badges that would be suitable in this situation. Thanks YIS⚜

Powder Horn emblem is worn on left pocket of the adult official uniform. I don't want to see an all merit badge award knot. In effect same can be down simply by wearing all your earned palms on your eagle award medal and/or knot.

Technically the Powder Horn is actually a dangle that uses the pocket flap on the left side. It is not attached to the pocket like a youth rank. I agree with you about using palms, but unfortunately, 7 Silver Palms do not fit on the small square knot. YIS⚜

@@ScouterStan Oh I get the reasoning. I really do. I was on board when they revamped the knots. By the time you got out of cub scouts as an adult leader could have 6 knots without even having been a scout first. I am of the camp that agrees that 9 should be the limit. Your own knot wear is VERY tasteful. Perhaps a video on obsolete awards/knots? Last comment....good job adding the flag behind you!

@huhhuh5620 - It's a suggestion in the uniform code book. That way there is room for the WOSM badge above them. I have a good commissioner friend who proudly wears 26 square knots. He's been in Scouting for more than 60 years and who am I to tell him he needs to take a few off? YIS⚜

Just to clarify- the NESA knot is 18+? I have it sewn on, but I can take it off, but the woman at the Scout Store said I was good to have it on.

Most square knots are for adult uniform use. There are some exceptions where the square knot can be worn by youth depending on the award. However, a general rule should be observed When wearing square knots based on achieved scouting rank. If the scout is under 18 years old the youth rank badge should be worn on the pocket. If the scouter is over 18 years old the square knot is worn in place of the youth rank badge. The Lifetime Member of NESA Eagle Scout square knot badge is for adult uniform use. Youth and adults can wear the NESA pin next to their Eagle Scout medal. I hope this clarifies any confusion over the use of square knot badges. Thank you so much for asking the question. YIS⚜

According to my research, the Gold Award was discontinued at the end of 2014. It was replaced with the Summit Award. If you earned the gold award before 2015 you should wear the square knot. YIS⚜

Explorer Gold was an option for eligible youth Explorers and Venturers to wear on youth uniforms (including Boy Scout program shirts for those under 18). No holder of that award (or other eligible award for that knot e.g. Exploring Silver award, Exploring Achievement Award, Young American Award) is still a youth (under 18 or 21). All eligible awards and the knot have been discontinued, but if earned can still be worn, just like the Spurgeon Award knot, the old Cub Scout knots, Speaker Bank knot, etc. This is not to be confused with the Venturing gold award, which never had a knot. The Venturing Gold was a interim award between Bronze awards and the Silver Award. The Gold award was also represented by a (blank) white ribbon bar worn with the bronze award ribbon bars.

This is too complicates. They should just let us keep wearing eagle and arrow of light.
