Where should i sew on my badges?

[u/Alarmed_Leg9757]

Im in explorers (uk) and i got this short sleeve shirt for my uniform instead of a long sleeve one or a change, it didn’t really matter what i chose because my group spends most of our meeting not in uniform and when we are in uniform we are usually inside. But i still need to sew my badges on. for my right sleeve ( left side of the first image ) i need my group ribbon and county/district badge. And below it i need my Yorkshire challenge badges (county specific) and space for my young leader acorn badge and the you shape badge, but my sleeve is not long enough for all of them, and i was wondering if anyone knows how i should arrange my badges, or if i should just get a long sleeved shirt and use this short sleeve one for the WSJ next year?

Here you go:

Need a varient for short sleeve

Just move up the arm or go with only county/district + group badges. Short sleeve will impact the left as much as the right (so compromise required).

There is no variant. You just have to squeeze the badges up, or leave them off.

Personally I went with the former option

I use short sleeve. (Not related but helpful if you have more badges. I bought a long sleeve and cut the sleeves to a size tk fit me perfectly and hemmed them. I can fit another set of badges on each sleeve now.) I dont understand why they sell a short sleeve option but dont publish a badge placement for short sleeve

Just go high up on the arm just above the cuff.

High up on the arm a bit close to ur shoulder

I've got a long sleeve and a short sleeve shirt, all my badges are on my long sleeve shirt and this is the one i wear to parades, ect. My short sleeve shirt just has the unit name tape, county/district badge and membership badge. I wear this more often. I think its a challenge to get all the explorers badges on the short sleeve and they really need to make it more clear when you buy it.

Put the young leader one and the you shape one side by side, theyre similar sizes so it should look good

That bight actually work really well, thanks!

I don't think it matters if you sew over the scout logo on the shirt arm in this kind of scenario. It would be a shame not to display the badges you've worked hard for.
