Eagle Scout Council Strip Patch (CSP) Design Competition
The Dan Beard Council (DBC) Eagle Scout Association is sponsoring a council strip patch (CSP) design competition to create a new Eagle Scout CSP for the Council. This is your chance to potentially turn your design idea into a real patch that will be worn by Scouts and Scouters throughout DBC
CSP Design Guidelines
- All patch designs must be the same shape and size as the standard council shoulder patch (CSP) shown on the reverse side which is the actual size (5″ wide by 2-1/4″ high).
- All patches must include “Dan Beard Council” at the top or bottom of the patch design.
- All patches must include either “BSA” (without any periods), “Boy Scouts of America,” or the BSA fleur-de-lis.
- No text or designs can cover over the BSA fleur-de-lis (if used).
- No third party trademarks are allowed without written authorization expressed from the trademark owner (on company letterhead), and written approval from the BSA Licensing Team.
- No text or designs can be superimposed over the American flag, nor can any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, picture, or drawing of any nature be attached to it (e.g., a stationary American flag may not be used as a patch background; however, a “waving” American flag may be used in).
- No obscene gestures or foul language.
- No words or designs that the BSA would consider, at its sole discretion, to reflect poorly on the values of the BSA or that it would deem offensive to the BSA and/or its members.
