Preserve the memories of Boy Scouts by using it as a decorating theme.
Since the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated in 1910, the organization has been the staple of many childhood memories for a lot of boys. Use it as a theme for decorating your son's bedroom to carry on the tradition and showcase the values and lessons learned throughout the generations that are a part of it. If you or your son have been or are involved in Scouting, you may have most of the decorating items needed already on hand.
Instructions
1. Paint the room in the traditional Scout color scheme. For example, paint the walls in navy blue to represent Cubs and he trim in tan to represents Boy Scouts.
2. Buy complementary bedding and curtains for the space, mixing it up to represent both colors equally. For example, if your walls are navy blue and the trim is tan ,get a tan comforter with navy blue piping or throw pillows.
3. Hang old uniforms in shadow boxes on the wall, in the order of wearing them. Leave the badges attached or frame the insignia separately for additional artwork when decorating a Boy Scout bedroom.
4. Make picture collages, or frame favorite photographs of camping trips or other outings and hang them all over the room, as well as display them on shelves, for the most personal of artwork. If you have a previous generation's photographs of family members wearing the uniform, bring them into the room as well.
5. Collect old manuals and other Boy Scout books to display on bookshelves around the bedroom. Decorate with as much vintage memorabilia as possible to make this theme authentic.
