Helping Protect the BSA Brand

The Moritz Embroidery Works is proud to be an Official Licensee of the Boy Scouts of America for embroidered emblems, neckerchiefs, and other promotional products. The Boy Scouts of America reviews each request for use of its brand and trademarks as submitted by its licensees. As a licensee, we facilitate all necessary authorizations from the BSA Licensing Department for your emblems or other custom products.

As an Official Licensee, we will guide you through the process of designing an emblem that conforms will all the National BSA guidelines, rules, and regulations.

Products not produced by an Official Licensee or approved by the Boy Scouts of America are considered by the BSA National Council to be unauthorized and, in many cases, are also be illegal. Unauthorized patches are in violation of the Boy Scouts of America’s insignia policies and infringe on the BSA’s trademarks and copyrights. We are committed to helping protect the use of the BSA‘s names, logos, and overall brand image. We will not produce Boy Scout emblems that do not receive the proper BSA approvals. Likewise, Scouts and Scouters should not use or collect unofficial merchandise.

To help you and others know that our patches are officially licensed, all of our BSA emblems feature our specially licensed BSA PVC plastic backing (for sew on and stabilization purposes) at no extra charge. Other licensed products will feature "Officially Licensed Product" holographic stickers or hangtags.

Additionally, PatchScan™ QR code stickers are required to be placed on all BSA Council Shoulder Patches (CSPs), Order of the Arrow Lodge Flaps and pocket patch sets, and Jamboree Shoulder Patches (JSPs). QR code stickers can also be applied to other Scout patches at the customer’s request. Using the free PatchScan™ app, a Scout or Scouter can scan the QR code on the back of a patch and view various details and statistics for trading and collecting purposes.
