Many
Scouters have asked about how to properly display knots on their uniforms.
You may wear as many different knots as you would like (the uniform insignia
committee in the past has recommended that not more than 15 knots be worn).
However, you may only wear one of each knot. If you have earned the same
knot more than once - for example, the Scouter Key and Commissioner Key,
you would wear a single knot with two devices to denote multiple awards.
There is no order of precedence as to what knot is worn in what order.
You can wear them in the order of importance to yourself, the order earned,
etc. To keep your uniform sharp, however, you should group the knots properly.
As a general rule, the knots should not be worn when the medal, medallion
or device is worn. The knots are designed for informal, everyday wear by
Scouts and Scouters including Professional Scouters.
The knots are worn centered on the left side of the uniform, above the
left pocket and in rows of three with the bottom edge of the knot emblem(s)
touching the top edge of the pocket flap. Subsequent rows of knots are
placed above the initial set, in rows of three and again, at the discretion
of the wearer. See the image below for proper placement of knots.
There is no order for wearing the knot awards. However, there is a proper
way for each knot award to be displayed. The loop of the embroidered square
knot that comes in front of the standing part is always to the wearer's
right. Knots are worn with the distinguishing color (not white) toward
the wearer's right.
Knot Device Pins
When an award is given to a Scout or Scouter that also has a related
square knot, the knot may be worn by itself on the uniform or with one
of the devices depicted below to indicate the program phase where the award
was earned.
For example, a Unit Commissioner that earns the Commissioner Key (same
knot as the Scouter Key) would wear the Commissioner device. (See Below)
on
If a Scout or Scouter earns a subsequent award represented by the same
knot, the Scout or Scouter should wear a device for each program phase
where the knot was earned (you do not wear multiple issues of the same
knot) . For example, a Scout that earns a sequence of religious emblems
as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout would wear the universal religious emblem
knot and two devices -- one each for Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting.

Eagle Palm Device Pins
Eagle Palms
Bronze Palm
Gold Palm
Silver Palm
After earning the Rank of Eagle Scout, a Scout
can continue to advance by earning palms. A palm may be earned by meeting
a three month tenure requirement, a leadership requirement, and earning
five additional merit badges. A bronze palm is awarded for the first five
merit badges after Eagle. A gold palm for the next five and silver for
an additional five. If a Scout continues to advance, combinations of palms
may be earned with bronze and silver representing 20 merit badges beyond
Eagle (and 12 months tenure). It is either worn on the ribbon of
the eagle medal or on the Eagle Square Knot.
