Miss Marple Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My son is taking his Eagle Project proposal to the district committee this evening. Does he need to wear his MB sash or can he wear his OA sash? Does he need to wear a sash at all? My older boy and I cannot remember which sash he wore to the same meeting a year ago (I can claim old age brain, but not sure what's wrong with the 18 yos brain :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsmomma Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am sitting with an experienced eagle mom and she says MB sash on is what her son did... Your mileage may vary depending on where you live though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVA Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yup- my 3 Eagles wore their MB sashes. One of them had an OA sash but didn't wear it. It may very depend on what your district people expect. Best wishes to him- it can be a nail biter. I know- we have one more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thank you all! He's got a brand spankin' new uniform because his other was bursting at the buttons and seams. How that boy has grown over the past 6 months! I'm sewing patches and hemming pants this afternoon :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 MB sash--no doubt. It is NOT an OA function. Whatever he does, do NOT hang the MB or the OA sash off his belt!!! If he is already 18yo, he does not wear the MB sash. Actually, in that case, he would not wear his Life patch either. I hold regular EBoR (I'm the DAC) and I'd hammer any boy who wore his OA sash. This hanging-off-the-belt is common practice in my son's troop, at least for regular meetings (OA sash worn, MB sash tucked in belt). They do wear their MN sashes at CsOH. I had no idea it was so frowned upon! He will soon be doing his Eagle project proposal so this is good to know. Thanks, Margaret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to OA rules, the OA sash is only to be worn at official OA functions (including OA troop elections). It is common practice to wear it to reg scout meetings folded from the belt- not to EB though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
