badges and patches

I always get a lot of questions about badge and patch placement, especially at the start of the year. They usually serve to expose my ignorance... I found a nice doc recently and put it on the documents page of the http://mauipack14.org website. 

A few notes: 
-- For new uniforms, buy the den number, council patch, world crest, and pack numbers. 
-- Feel free to iron on the council patch, world crest, and pack numbers. For everything else, please sew them, so that we can share the uniform as a hand-me-down later. The iron-on patches ruin the shirt if you try to remove them. 
-- There is more info on all the extra badges at this excellent page: http://burchcreekcubscouts.org/Patches.html
-- We don't use the "veteran unit insignia bar" between the council patch and the pack number. 
-- Note that the Word Crest goes pretty high (1/2 way between the left pocket and the left shoulder seam). The diagram is a bit misleading. 
-- The world conservation award goes on the right pocket. The diagram is very misleading. 
-- Note that only one temporary patch may be worn at a time (e.g.: leave no trace and world conservation). I believe these can be worn on a Boy Scout merit badge sash later, so save them...
