Index of Retired Insignia

Throughout the years, many AY honors have had their patches either be updated, redesigned, changed, or even discarded. This is usually due to a changing world and a need for requirements to be up-to-date with the latest discoveries, changing technology, differing cultures, and much more. While almost all honors are simply updated in requirements and/or design, there are also a few honors that no longer exist.

This page showcases several AY honor patches as they existed before they underwent design changes. The purpose of the page is three-fold: 1) Demonstrate the interesting designs, history, and legacy of Pathfindering; 2) Resolve any questions and confusion as to what a patch is supposed to look like & 3) Identifying patches that maybe many seasoned Pathfinders have on their sashes but might have forgotten what they are ;-)

You can click on the name of the honor to go to the link of the actual patch design as it appears today.

If you have any honor patches that are outdated and you do not see it on this page, take a picture and upload it here!

-|reason=It is uncertain as to why Barbering (later renamed Barbering & Hairstyling) was printed with a gray background. The most likely explanation is that it was a misprint. The updated design now has a red background to reflect its [[Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Vocational|Vocational]] category and a circular outline reflecting the red-white-blue colors that most barber shops are recognized for.
+|reason=The [[Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Vocational|Vocational]] category was once completely retired and labeled as antique. During this time, the patches were produced with a gray background. This is the example seen here with Barbering (later renamed Barbering & Hairstyling). The Vocation category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background.

+|reason=Technology is constantly changing, improving, and upgrading. The original design for this patch had a model similar to the first personal computers. The design was changed by the General Conference to include several devices that now act and are used as computers. The requirements were also updated, and most likely will continue to need revision as time goes on and technology continues to change.
