We are looking for creative Scouts to design the next Michigan Crossroads Council Shoulder Patch (CSP)! The Upper Peninsula has joined us, and we want to make sure our new CSP reflects our full council. We are looking for an original design that captures the spirit, excitement, and adventure of Scouting in Michigan.
Here is what you need to know:
Submissions are accepted starting October 6 through October 19 11:59 pm. Submit original artwork on the Patch Contest form or standalone.
- Design must include the words “Michigan Crossroads Council”.
- Design must include the Scouting America Emblem (fleur de lis) image (the solid one shown on this page is best for embroidery this size).
- Designs need to be created by registered Scouts (youth) in the MCC. Designs can be hand drawn or computer designed. Designs will be judged on the concept, not on the skill.
- Maximum of 9 colors.

MCC Marketing will choose the top 3 finalists, and council-wide voting will begin on October 24 and November 2 at 11:59 pm. Voting will occur on this page.
The winner will receive a framed concept patch as well as a production patch for their uniform….plus bragging rights!
Questions? Contact us at marketing@michiganscouting.org.
The final patch will be rendered and modified by our graphic designer to meet CSP branding and embroidery standards. It may be modified from the original concept.

Submissions for the MCC CSP Contest start on October 6, 2025.
