Design rationale

Shield: The green part of the chief is for the love and unity of the family. The black T (lower part of the chief and center vertical black between the 2 red sides) is for the strength of the family in support of each other and in support of the country. The red is for the warriors in the family and the service they give for the freedoms we cherish. The eagle is recognized as a national symbol of the United States, the nation to which we are citizens, and which we serve to protect as members of her armed forces. It also represents strength, bravery, & alertness in that service and in personal life. The partition lines are made up of gold fleurs-de-lis and represent membership in scouting and the striving to live up to the laws and ideals of scouting in personal, professional, and public life.

Mantling: The gold is for the wisdom and intelligence which one constantly seeks to improve. The red and black have the same meaning as in the shield.

Crest: The blue represents loyalty. The green is unity, love and loyalty to the family. The lions represent strength and courage as an individual and a family unit. The lightning bolts represent swiftness and power.

Design note

The herald is Geoff Kingman-Sugars and the arms were assumed 24 June 2008.
