Hello everyone.
I am trying to help my son get his Arrow Of Light so He can Cross in Sept.
I need to find a image of the First Class badge that I can print out on 11" x 17" paper
Can someone point me to it or just send it to me please?
Any format.
Thanks Everyone.

If you can get ahold of an actual badge, or the picture that Nancy provided the link to, you can take it down to your local Kinko's or similar copy store and blow it up on a color printer. Once I took an AOL patch and kept blowing it up until it fit on an 11"x17" sheet of paper and it came out great!
It can get tricky trying to center the item correctly as you make the increase size, and it will cost a couple of bucks. But you can get good quality prints this way. The key is to start with a good quality source (which is why I always tried to use the actual patch.
I once took my son's uniform and copied a patch that was sewn on the actual uniform – I just smashed it into the copy machine (with no pins attached, of course!) Then I kept increasing the size of the patch until I got what I needed.
You can even blow up pins. When I made my giant Webelos color, I took the actual activity pins and copied them in the color copier and blew them up until they were the size I needed. I think they came out great:

Not to be a downer on this topic, but the commissioner in me popped out…
Is your son crossing over with his den, or by himself? Understand that as soon as a scout earns his AOL, he is eligible to cross over to a boy scout troop, and IMO, he should do so.
But……
Crossing with his den mates, makes the transition a bit easier for young scouts, and fall is a great time to be an experienced Cub Scout…take some hikes, go on a den campout…
The Webelos program is designed to be about 18 months…enjoy the ride, it's not a race.
As a Scoutmaster, I always want scouts to come to my troop as soon as possible, but I would rather see them come as soon as they are ready…

My Son will be crossing before his den, He will be going into a troop that I am the UC for (well at least till he crosses into it), My son does not go to school nor does any of his den mates live near us, so the ties are not that strong.
The troop he is going into is one that I have known the leaders of for many years and he (my Son) already has strong ties to the SM's son.
The Scoutmaster's son has taken an active roll in my son's scouting and has made it easy for my son to make this choice.
I just want to say here Thank You!
This is one of the reasons we are in scouting, I like that we care and lookout for each other and our youth. NERVER Say you are sorry for helping.
Again Thanks
