This made me think, In the other organization I'm also with, the Civil
Air Patrol, each squadron has it's own patch that represents their specific
unit. I know we have our District strips and #'s but an outpost patch,
perhaps with a design that would be unique to that particular outpost or
area, maybe that would be neat, and not necessarily doing away with Old on
this.
I think it would be nice to consolidate patches like taking a District
strip and staff patches and make them one patch instead of two and
consolidate the numbers all onto one patch. I know the Scouts have done this
already and it looks nice on them.
