At Philmont, a National Jamboree, or even at summer camp, you may see personalized license plates with a scouting and/or OA theme. If you have such a plate-- especially with a photo-- that you would like to showcase on this page, email me, and I'll add it.

Please include the plate number with separators (dash, dot, etc.), the state, and what it refers to. Also, try and include the letter and background colors so I can approximate it in the table below.

*Although it's not an actual plate, the graphic is so good that it should be

*Because of Pennsylvania's Registration Plate Reissuance, this plate was due to be replaced. I wanted to have it updated with the new plate format. However, because it was not "deemed illegible... or showed any blistering, peeling, discoloration or loss of reflectivity," I would have to have surrendered the current plate. So, instead I've decided to retire it, and mount it in a framed display.

Redesigned Pennsylvania Flag

On another topic, there has been talk about redesigning Pennsylvania's flag, especially since Minnesota, Mississippi, and Utah did so recently. Like far too many other states, ours is just the state seal on a blue background.

This is my version, based on the colors from Old Glory. I also like the gold keystone, which is of course, Pennsylvania's unique symbol, with two white stars on a blue field to signify PA being the 2nd state.
