Scouting Colors

Trying to match the blue from the Cub Scout logo with the borders on your pack newsletter? This may help.

A while back, I found these images on the National BSA site. I believe they are color samples for many of the emblems that we use. For example, these two are the blue and gold of the Cub Scout logo with the wolf:





The color values I extracted from them with Photoshop are below in hex and decimal RGB format:

Blue: #005E9C (Red:0, Green:94, Blue:156)
Yellow: #FFD401 (Red:255, Green: 212, Blue:1)

Here are the red and green from Boy Scouts:





Red: #EC1848 (Red:236, Green:24, Blue:72)
Green: #01713F (Red:1, Green 113, Blue:63)

If you know what those numbers mean and you work on any scout websites or graphic designs, you'll know what to do with them.

There are many more colors used in scouting, like the orange of the Tiger Cubs. Send me any you find and I'll add them here. Also, send me corrections if I'm wrong about any of these numbers.
