Tres Coker to ALL:

  Right off the top, congrats to you & yor 222 crew for earning the
award in the *first* place - it's no mean task!  Philmont is *the*
place to do it, of course, but that doesn't make it any less of an
accomplishment.  You absolutely should display it with pride.
 
   3 places it may be displayed:
   On the uniform shirt, on the R pocket, in the space reserved for
a badges on temporary display.  I'm torn between sewing things
there & sticking 'em in the plastic protectors that hang from the
pocket flap button (the Scout Shop has one that the 50 Miler fits
into exactly).  Only 1 badge may be displayed there at a time.
   On the back of the Merit Badge sash.
   On a patch vest.
 
   While it isn't an "official" place to wear it, I've seen it on
baseball caps, & I think it looks cool there.  If I had something
else really special that I wanted to wear on my R uni shirt pocket,
I'd probably put the 50 Miler on a ballcap.  Maybe use iron-on
lettering to put on the dates @ Philmont, Troop #, & Crew #.  Maybe
even get the other guys to sign the hat itself.
 
   Or what about a Philmont Tee-shirt?  Did you guys shoot black-
powder when you were there?  At what?  Last time we (T-36, Denver
Area Council) were there, we got Philmont T-shirts & used 'em as
targets on the black-powder range ... made interesting souvenirs.
A 50-Miler patch on something like that would be pretty neat.
