Just a quick poll/question for others.
When I was 15, I attended Philmont. Growing up in the mid-west, all of the adults who had been to Philmont wore their Philmont Arrow's. I've since joined the military, and moved to another state.
Now, as a 35+ adult leader in a different state, I've started to notice none of the adults in my current district wear their Philmont Arrowhead's. I understand I'm geographically farther from Philmont now, so fewer people may have had the chance to attend, but there are a few in the district who have.
So, my question is: Should I remove my Philmont Arrowhead? I earned the patch, but I also understand how some scout leaders seem covered in patches. I like to think I'm advertising Philmont and High Adventure to anyone who'd like to ask me, but I dont' want take away and seem like I'm bragging.
Just looking for some thoughts on patch wearing as an adult.
