Cub Scout Arrow of Light plaque design help

[ed_lang]

My 10 year old son is moving from Cub Scouts into Boy Scouts. The Arrow of Light is the top of Cub Scouts and I wanted this to be special for him and the other boys who also reached this level. I have arrows that are 26" long and want to make a plaque to display that arrow on and list the other badges the boy has obtained. I was thinking about a plaque in the shape of the Arrow of Light award, the childs name and a place to engrave the badges they have earned.

I sure could use some design ideas!

Thanks Gerald, I have seen all of those but wanted something different, if possible.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

I have made such plaques for several years for my son's old pack. I will dig out the file and email it to you.

Ed,

I am helping my my Brother-in-law do this exact project for 11 scouts crossing over. I am sending the dxf file for the background plaque as well as the arrow of lite file. I also have the Partswizard as well as the shopbot file. I'll try to take a pic of the ones we did last year and send. We cut the arrow of light out of 1/2" mdf and painted them yellow. Let me know if you want the other files.

I am also looking for a creative way to diaply my sons awards as he is going into the 11 year old scouting program. He has earned so many things and I want to properly display them. All up to his aarow of light which he gets here is just a couple of weeks.

I thought I would update the progress I made with this Arrow of Light plaque since last year. Below is a link to pictures of the vacuum mask I use to hold the plaque blank as well as the finished product.
