Those white items are on a deep purple not maroon, but royal purple background. The 1. 99. 5 Insignia Guide states that the World Crest should be centered horizontally over the left shoulder and vertically between the left shoulder seam and the top of the pocket. The 2. 00. 6 Insignia Guide states that the World Crest is worn above the left pocket by all members of the BSA. The World Crest is a smaller symbol associated with the World Scout Flag which flies at the World Organization of Scouting Movements WOSM in Switzerland. It is the sole insignia common to ALL member nations of the WOSM, and in most if not all nations, where they base their national symbol of Scouting from. Only recently, has the Boy Scouts of America decided that all of its members will wear the World Crest as a symbol of unity and world brotherhood. The World Organization decided after the Second World War that all member nations would issue and wear a patch with the World Crest on it as a sign of world brotherhood and unity among all Scouting organizations in the then free world. The BSA along with a small group of other countries agreed but declined to carry out the mandate, stating that their program will do so when the time is right for it to happen, stated then Chief Scout Arthur Schuck. The first uses of the World Crest were during the World Jamboree in 1. Scouts and Scouters several years before. In 1. 95. 6, however, the BSA decided that Scouts and Scouters that participate in an approved international activity or event would wear the Crest to and from that event as members of other nations would be doing. The following year, 1. BSA made the World Crest available to local Councils it was previously only available from the BSAs International Service, and established the requirements which lasted until 1. Take part in an organized international activity or event with Scouts from another member nation of the World Association. The BSA also established the World Crest as one of the few PERMANENT patches or insignia on the Boy Scout or Scouters uniform. No matter how many international activities you took part in, you could only wear ONE per life of the Scout or Scouter. Nor could you purchase a World Crest without a card similar to the Eagle Scout card which states that you are indeed the holder of the World Crest. The crest became known as the Overseas patch of Scouting informally by Scouts and Scouters, because while a few were earned by Scouts and Scouters taking part in events in Canada or Mexico, many more. Scouts and Scouters serving as members of the Transatlantic Europe, Near East, and North Africa, Far East Far East, Japan, and the Philippines, Canal Zone Panama and Direct Service all other areas around the world Councils. Scouts and Scouters in those Councils routinely had interactions with host nation Scouting groups and many of those Scouts and Scouters developed lifelong associations with individuals and groups over the years, camping and doing social events with them and their members. As those folks came back to the States, proudly displaying their World Crest, they were singled out for many special tasks and events in their Councils because they have done something with foreign Scouts. So why does EVERYONE get to wear it now My best guess is that there were many jealous Scouts and Scouters that could not go overseas, could not attend a Jamboree or some other event, and could not, therefore, earn the World Crest. In 1. 98. 0, the BSA did something about this and changed the rules allowing for Scouts and Scouters in the USA to earn a World Crest by simply taking part in an international exhibit or display or participate in an international event., whether or not Scouts from another country were present or not. Robert Zadima, the Council Executive of the Transatlantic Council and his Far East counterpart, along with some members of other US local councils, strongly made their objections known to the BSAs National Director of Operations and to the International Division, but those appeals fell on deaf ears, and the policy was changed.
