Language Strips (prior to 2015 - previously coded as Cubs L3a-L3mmm)
Originally introduced in the Arctic (blue on white) in 1964 and then to Wolf Cubs nationally (green border & red lettering on yellow) in 1965 as the Interpreter Emblem, the name was changed to Language Strip in 1984. Dates in brackets indicate the earliest reference to the appearance of this badge. Badge used in the Scout program beginning in 1991 and the Venturer and Rover programs beginning in 1998.
Except as noted below, the embroidered Arctic versions measure 90mm x 25mm, the embroidered red lettering with green border on yellow strips measure approximately 55mm by 22mm, and the woven red on white strips measure approximately 45mm x 20mm. The red on white strips were introduced in 2011 as part of a change in uniform design.
