Answer all your question about WHERE to place official patches on your scout’s uniform

Temporary Patches

Any patch authorized by the local council for a particular purpose, such as Cub Scout overnighters, Cub Scout camps, Derbies, Regattas, etc. worn by Cub Scouts centered on the right pocket of the uniform shirt. Only one temporary patch in addition to the immediate recognition or compass point emblem may be worn at a time. Additional temporary patches may be placed on a red vest, patch blanket or other non-uniform item.  Vests and blankets are available at local scout shops.
