Boy Scout, Cub Scout badges being recalled

Post by sporty »

Attention !!


The boy Scouts of America are recalling.

The plastic badge (progress towards ranks) beads go on it.


1.6 million are being recalled, due to high levels of led ! (from china)

This badge is typically given to cub scouts kids between 7 and 8 years of age

They are asking them to be taken away from kids, this is a voluntary recall by Kahoot products inc., based in roswell, Ga

Hey, Sporty. Long time...

Question: Are there any distinguishing marks / lot numbers / etc., or should we just expect to return all the new Progress Towards Ranks badges we picked up this year?

p.s. Thanks for continuing to post good Scout info here periodically. Helps me keep up with my new job (Committee Chair) as well as Pinewood Stuff (also Pinewood Chair).

thanks for the kind words, my youngest is in Cub Scouts now and my g/f child. So looks like more Cubmobile and pine wood derby.
