Pathfinder Trading Pins

Pathfinder Trading Pins turn a club name, camporee theme or local story into a design members can exchange and keep after the event. Build the artwork around one recognizable club element so the name and theme remain clear at pin size.

The designs shown above use mountains, tents, compass shapes and trail imagery as layout inspiration rather than fixed templates. Submit your own references or explore the custom trading pins collection for more ways to organize a club-focused design.

• Product format: Custom club and camporee trading pins based on approved artwork.
• Size choices: 1.5 in / 38 mm; 1.75 in / 44 mm; 2 in / 50.8 mm; 2.25 in / 57 mm; 2.5 in / 63.5 mm; 2.75 in / 69.9 mm; 3 in / 76.2 mm.
• Artwork inputs: Club name, approved emblem or original motif, color references and any event, location or year wording.

• Use a local reference: Pair the club name with one landmark, trail, landscape or outdoor element that members will recognize without crowding the lettering.
• Define the event story: Add the camporee name, year or short theme only when it helps identify the occasion. Keep secondary wording smaller than the club name.

If the request includes an official emblem, event mark or other protected symbol, identify it separately and provide the permission needed for use. Otherwise, an original compass, campsite or trail motif can communicate the outdoor theme without copying an official badge.

• One shared design: Use a common border, palette and club name when every member should receive the same pin for trading and keeping.
• A coordinated set: Keep the club identity consistent while changing one purposeful element, such as a local scene, event year or leader version.

List each version and its quantity separately. This makes it easier to compare a single shared design with a multi-design set before approving the quote.

1. Submit the club request. Send the artwork or concept, exact wording, color references, selected size, quantity for each design and required in-hand date.
2. Review the quote and proof. Check spelling, club colors, scene or symbol details, event wording and every version quantity at the proposed size.
3. Approve production. Confirm the final artwork, complete quantity, quote and agreed schedule before production begins.

Can our club use its own artwork?

Yes. Send the clearest available emblem, sketch, landscape reference or design idea together with the exact wording and color references. Identify the element that should remain most prominent.

Can official Pathfinder or camporee marks appear on the pin?

Provide the permission required for any official, event or other protected mark you request. A custom pin order does not provide trademark clearance or replace official uniform insignia.

Can we order several coordinated designs?

Yes. Provide one list showing the exact difference and quantity for each version. Keeping the club name, palette or border consistent can help the set read as one collection.

What date should we provide?

Give the date the club needs the order in hand for counting and distribution, not only the event date. The quote can then account for the requested schedule before production approval.
