PA Dutch Council Council Shoulder Patch Design Contest

by Logan Ginder on Wednesday, May 6, 2026

The Pennsylvania Dutch Council is looking to design a new Council Shoulder Patch, and we would like YOU to help.

How to Participate:

Submissions are open to all registered Scouts in the Pennsylvania Dutch Council.

Contest Guidelines:

Your design should capture the spirit, energy, and excitement of Scouting in our Council. Our current patch is a covered bridge with a horse-and-buggy on farmland. Think of other things that make our area special, such as nature, communities, food, or anything else you can think of!

Patch Designs Must Include:

The Scouting Fleur-de-lis
Must include the words “Pennsylvania Dutch Council”
Must fit the approved CSP shape template

Patch Design Cpnsiderations:

Submitted designs will be used as inspiration for the final patch; it is NOT guaranteed that a submitted design will be the final product.
Designs do not need to be refined and finished; rough drawings are acceptable.
Designs can be submitted in black and white or in color.
Feel free to use the larger patch outline on the back to create your design.
