Q: What is the purpose of a button loop?A: It seems that almost every Scouting event comes with a patch ― summer camp, camporees, Scout derbies, training events, fundraisers, Scouting shows, and more. These "temporary insignia," as the BSA calls them, can be worn by Scouts on the right pocket of their uniform. According to the BSA Insignia Guide, only one such patch may be worn at a time. Sewing these type of event emblems on the uniform only to have to remove them and sew another one on a month or two later can become tiring. Scouts want the immediate recognition of their accomplishments. They want to display their patch as soon as they get it.
Event patches can be sewn to the pocket or suspended from under the pocket flap attached to the button. Adding a simple button loop to you event emblems allows Scouts to easily hang their emblem from uniform pocket ― no sewing, no waiting, no fuss (and easy to swap out when the next event comes along).
Button loops are phenomenal! This extra feature can help ensure that your event emblem gets worn by Scouts rather than just being tossed in a box with other keepsakes. This provides pride in participating (and give free marketing to your event).
Consider adding a button loop to your next event emblems. A 3/4"-wide braided button loop can be sewn at the top of practically any emblem. We can match the colors on your patch to your button loop. And if a Scout doesn't want to hang their patch, the loop can easily be removed with a pair of scissors.
