Outdated Insignia
Index of Retired Insignia
Throughout the years, many AY honors have had their patches either be updated, redesigned, changed, or even discarded. This is usually due to a changing world and a need for requirements to be up-to-date with the latest discoveries, changing technology, differing cultures, and much more. While almost all honors are simply updated in requirements and/or design, there are also a few honors that no longer exist.
This page showcases several AY honor patches as they existed before they underwent design changes. The purpose of the page is three-fold: 1) Demonstrate the interesting designs, history, and legacy of Pathfindering; 2) Resolve any questions and confusion as to what a patch is supposed to look like & 3) Identifying patches that maybe many seasoned Pathfinders have on their sashes but might have forgotten what they are ;-)
If you have any honor patches that are outdated and you do not see it on this page, take a picture and upload it here!
