Showcase your crew’s interest and your group identity by developing a crew-specific patch!

Venturing Crews may design and wear a cloth emblem on the right sleeve, (right sleeve position 2 in the picture), that identifies the crew and their area of interest. You may only wear the national Venturing emblem, your crew-developed emblem, or the Council Venturing Officers' Association (VOA)/National Venturing Cabinet patch if a VOA Officer. Only one of these patches may be worn here.
