Scout Badges/Patches

[Knowa64]

Similar to Mercedes high mileage badge program and Jeeps trail badges I believe Scout should do a Scout Patch/Badges for different things Including mileage, specific trails, one's signifying ownership of specific Scout models from the past, specific Scout car shows or trail events, and maybe even one's for the Scout Forum Members. either have a specific location for them to be displayed on the outside grille or fender or rear end of the vehicle or in the interior on the dash or behind the front seats. Would be neat to make them look similar to Boy Scout patches. Any ideas on other badges/patches you would like to see/collect or ideas on locations on the vehicle?

That’s another great idea

Cool idea. Regarless of the logo or symbol style. I'd request that the physical shape is hexagon (honeycomb) very space efficient and looks great as you build out the collection.

Already working on it...

I like this idea, maybe have spots on the inside of the tire carrier where you can place them. That way if you are tailgating and someone walks by and sees them it could start a conversation.

That's a neat idea!! they could also put a Honeycomb design like @ID_ENG said to help line all the badges up and make everything lined up/uniform.

Posted on another thread but these were provided at the reveal in our swag bags. A Terra and a traveler. All they need beyond the campfire is some Coffee!

Are we going to get physical versions of our forum badges??

Badges… We don’t need no stink in’ Badges.
Sorry, it’s late on East coast and couldn’t help myself. I’m more into pins over badges. Smaller and just something different to me but whatever people like

That's neat!! pretty cool to see some behind the scenes stuff of what you got for going to the reveal! Thanks for sharing. also Love the pins idea as well. Maybe we could see a cork dash instead of the wood that you could put pins on? may not hold up over time but if it was easy enough to replace it might not be a bad idea.

Funny you say that. 10 years ago we built a house and installed cork floors. They are awesome.
When I saw the hemp wood on the dashes it reminded me of cork and I thought same thing. Cork would be a cool option as it doesn’t have to look like corkboard-but some looks like rich wood.

You ever see that meme of someone glueing gem stones all over their steering wheel for good vibes?.... Essentially making a frag grenade. I get that vision placing sharp objects all over the front of the dash...

See this is why it's important to get an outside perspective lol. This made me laugh and thanks for pointing out the obvious flaw in this idea!!

Ha anytime. I must say this forum definitely feels more open and welcoming than most forums out there.

100% agree! Excited to see a good community behind an even more exciting new vehicle. And interested to see what ideas we come up with on here make it to the production vehicle. (hopefully not the frag grenade dash)

I know a lot of people put patches on their headliners for places they have been or things they are interested in and I like the idea of Scout badges in the vein of boy/girl scouts merit badges. Scout could easily come up with merit/demerit badges that commemorate firsts in your own driving/off-roading/camping/adventuring achievements or embarrassments. I'm more of a fan of light hearted demerit badges myself. They could be sold on Scout Supply or included as a pack with your vehicle purchase.

(not my rig or badge designs below, just images I found on the internet to visualize the ideas I'm trying to convey)

This was actually discussed (years ago). Lots of ideas, even digital badges that can transfer but also stay with the vehicle so overtime a legacy line is created with everywhere the scout has been. I’m more for a digital badges but that’s me. Simple to do and SM could even put WR code posts at various locations so you scan it and QR code sends it to your Scout account

Being digital you could have unlimited badges and they could be created for special events super easy.

I'd imagine that digital badges would be more like "videogame achievements".

IE, you don't have to "do" anything (manual) to do them, you just get them when you do the requirement. And with GPS built in/onboard, it would be pretty easy to do something like "your vehicle entered the GPS coordinate range of Moran State Park on Orcas Island, now award the "You visited Moran State Park" badge".

(and yes, I used Moran State park on purpose, because I saw it up there, and I'm a pseudo local. I helped rebuild some of their bridges on hiking trails with the youth group I lead there a year or so ago)

But I'd also want a way to turn it off (at least the notifications), as I'm not sure its a feature I'd want.

Beautiful park.
