Whether your scout troop is honoring a once-in-a-lifetime experience or recognizing the dedication of an accomplished volunteer, custom scout patches make your uniforms stand out and tell a story. Embroidered patches are not only an icon of your organization, but they also help your members feel like they’re a part of a team that’s working together for good. That’s why they matter so much, especially for those in the public service industries like police and fire or even for a martial arts studio.

Embroidered Patches

A custom scout patches with a high-quality twill fabric that’s stiff and strong. Next, a washable marker is drawn on the fabric to outline your design. This is done so the embroidery stitchers know where to stitch, and can be easily washed off once the embroidery is complete. The actual stitches are made with a basic running stitch to create the shapes and borders of your patch. Lastly, satin stitches are used to fill in the space and give your patch some visual texture and depth.

Exploring the Wilderness: Designing Custom Scout Patches”

For added flair, consider adding glow-in-the-dark threads or sequins to your custom scout patches. These eye-catching accents will draw the attention of everyone in your group and bring your patch to life.

We offer a wide range of patch shapes including circle, oval, rectangle, shield and more. Depending on the patch shape and design, we can add either a standard merrow border or a hot cut border. Hot cut edges have less stitching around the edge, making your patch look cleaner and more refined. It’s a good choice for designs with gradient-like shading or intricate details.
