How to Remove Badge Adhesive From Boy Scout Uniforms
Badge adhesive is specifically designed for use with Boy Scouts of America badges. It offers adhesive backing in the shape of every Boy Scout badge. This allows parents to simply purchase the appropriate piece of adhesive, along with the badge and use it to stick the badge onto the uniform fabric. Sometimes, due to placing the badge incorrectly, you may need to remove the badge from the uniform. This is a fairly simple process with the correct solvent.

Tips & Warnings
Remove all the badges from the uniform at one time by taking it to your dry cleaner's and asking him to use the "Perc" method to clean it. This is a special solvent that will remove all the badges. Make sure and let the cleaner know that you wish to keep the badges, so he can save them for you.
