For new Troops, however, the Supply Division created standard patrol flags until the Patrol gets their own flag made. Such a flag is shown below. The flag for a Varsity Scout Team is shown below. Districts, Councils, Regions and the Boy Scouts of America also have flags. District and Councils have blue flags with gold emblems and lettering.
Regions have purple flags with silver emblems and lettering, identifying the Region.
The Boy Scouts of America's official flag is purple with the central emblem in silver and no other lettering. Council and national Camp flags are also identical to the District flag, with the name of the camp on the top part of the flag and the location and Council name on the bottom half. Official BSA flags are ONLY sold through the BSA's Supply Divsion. No other organization, firm or outfitter has the authority to sell or distribute official BSA flags. Options such as fringes and tassles are sold separately and can be ordered attached to the flag.
