BSA buddy tag (DXF)

thingiverse

This is a BSA (Boy Scout) buddy tag for the swimming pool. It's set to the same dimensions as a "regulation" buddy tag (40mm diameter). The outline and hanging hole are on one layer of the DXF, the printing is on another. I originally designed this to be cut on my laser, but you could certainly print one on a 3D printer as well. The Scout's name is printed in the middle blank space. The top and bottom 1/2 circles are used to indicate swimming proficiency. If both 1/2 circles are blank, the scout is a 'nonswimmer'. If the top 1/2 is colored (usually red) they are a 'beginner'. And if both the top and bottom 1/2 circles are both colored (red top, blue bottom) they are a 'swimmer'. The outside circle with 100, 150, 200, 1/4 and 1/2 is used for those working on mile swim. The back of the tab usually contains contact info like the troop number, campsite, etc. all depending on the camp or event where the tag is being used. You can google for more info about using BSA buddy tags.
