Scout Banners

Kathy created these banners as an inspiring way to display Scout badges and pins that don’t fit or aren’t appropriate to wear on regulation sashes and uniforms. Since both mottoes (On My Honor and Be Prepared) are used by both Boy and Girl Scouts, you can choose whichever one suits your Scout best. Directions for both banners are nearly identical; where they vary, directions for the Girl Scout version are given in brackets [like this].
Many novelty prints are directional. Be careful to keep any directional prints oriented properly when cutting and assembling novelty patches. Kathy used Scouting-themed prints by Robert Kaufman.

See Part 1 of the instructions for these inspiring banners.

See Part 2 (and final) part of the instructions.

We hope you enjoy making these cute little banners for your own scout! Send us pictures (of the quilt and the scout!) at mcq@creativecraftsgroup.com.

BSA banner

If you have a Boy Scout moving up in rank, you will find them collecting a lot of patches, pins, and rank advancement items. Especially if they get EAGLE and attend any jamborees. The key to keep them all contained is to make the banner much longer, like 3 times the length suggested and include clear vinyl pockets and blank areas to put pins and a few loops to have an arrow (Order of the Arrow) attached. Kaufman has wonderful BSA fabrics that I used, making 3 of them. Don't forget the mottoes.
