2005 Boards Member pjn5311 is sharing with us a good pic of 2017 Boy Scout Jamboree Transformers Patches.
The patches are G1 inspired and are quite nice. Six key characters are highlighted.
- Optimus Prime
- Megatron
- Grimlock
- Starscream
- Bumblebee
- Soundwave
You can checkout the image, after the jump.

lol they're all Sunbow G1 Transformers. Who are the patches for? The Scoutmasters? To any kids who are Scouts today, those characters look nothing like the Transformers.

Oooooh, right, I thought it was something to do with Boy Scouts. Thanks.

I hope the Starscream merit badge is awarded for excellence in treachery. Not enough kids are properly taught about the fundamentals of evil these days.

The National Jamboree is basically the largest Boy Scout camp event ever – upwards of 40,000 scouts attend.
Because it's the most famous incarnation.

…why're they G1?

I don't get it nor do I even know what a jamboree is (other than that thing I've heard the name of a million times) but they look cool so there's that!

Does it make the patches more or less valuable when you see that Megatron's barrel and fusion cannon are on the wrong side, as well as Soundwave's shoulder cannon being on the wrong side? Pretty obvious the artist flipped those character models around.
Cool patches nonetheless. Interesting that Jazz got one of the surrounding patches when the rest match characters in the center patch, except for Prime. Go Jazz!

So is the Narragansett Council the one that covers Pawtucket or what?

In case anyone is legit interested in this set, here is the link to purchase:
2017 National Jamboree Patch Set
It's $50 for the large patch with the surrounding six patches, but does NOT include the Lodge patch or the Patch with the large prime on it.
^I am also an eagle scout, but can't justify spending $50 on patches haha

I remember the National Jamboree I went to. We would all bring extra patches to trade for others. Year I went a group had some really cool Star Wars ones. Pretty sure I still have them too

Well damn. I gotta go and track this whole set down. I love collecting patches, to which I blame my time in the scouts for.

As an eagle scout, I approve.

The ONLY patches that matter are Rodimus Stars.

Good. This almost helps make up for "you know whos" asinine and embarrassing speech.
Edit…aaaand I just pulled the trigger on this. Peace through tyranny! An appropriate slogan. I love ebay View attachment 27776320

Hmm. I'm not sure that Tulpe Lodge patch would be approved for official wear. Last I checked, Order of the Arrow Lodge patches can only have pre-approved symbols of the Lodge and the OA itself. At least the WWW is still on there.
Generally the BSA is pretty lax on rules like this, but it might just be Lodge-dependent.
As an Eagle Scout, and Brotherhood member of Ma-Nu Lodge 133, I'm ridiculously jealous of this, even if G1 isn't exactly my thing. And those council patches are just incredible.
