Good Looking Unit Numerals from Moritz

Get Official Custom Unit Numeral Patches For Your Uniform!

 Moritz Embroidery, an official NNJC Program Partner, can provide these good looking numeral patches for your troop or pack's uniforms.

Colors are either olive-on-tan (pictured) or the prior white-on-red style that old-timers prefer. Available as 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit. You can also add on a small anniversary year, such as "25."

The minimum order is 12, and turn-around will be about two weeks, but they're willing to do a rush delivery at no extra charge if you ask.

Moritz was recently licensed by BSA to sell these patches, with pricing set by BSA. Previously, you had to order custom numerals through BSA Catalog Sales.
