Boy/Varsity Scout Uniform Swimwear Aquatics Emblems

"Where do the various watercraft-type badges go on the uniform?? I am speaking about the Mile Swim and the BSA Lifeguard patches. Is there a special place for them or are they to go only on the swim shorts?"

This is a followup to a posting you sent to me asking where do the various aquatic emblems go on a Scout's swim trunks. At one time, I had a scan of a bright red pair of swim trunks with the emblems attached to the trunks so that I can show Scouts and Scouters how those are worn.

I have rescanned the patches and a pair of shorts to illustrate:

Here goes:

On the RIGHT SIDE of the swim trunks goes (from bottom to top):

*BSA Lifeguard emblem and/or the Aquatics Instructor, BSA emblem (one or the other should be worn; the Aquatics Instructor BSA emblem is "higher" than the basic Lifeguard emblem)

NOTHING ELSE.

On the LEFT SIDE of the swim trunks goes (from bottom to top):

*Mile Swim, BSA emblem(s) (it can be earned as many times as the Scout/Venturer chooses to earn it and has space on the left side to show it!!)

*Boardsailing, BSA OR Snokelling, BSA (both may be worn at the same time, side by side, above the Mile Swim BSA emblem(s)).

* Special swimming recognitions from local Council or Regional camps (some have Polar Bear, Instructor, etc. emblems which can be worn on the trunks along with BSA emblems)
