Why do my pins keep falling off?
This solution is so simple, so easy, and so life changing! Never lose another pin!
these locking pins are the best!
I swear, this one simple solution can make such a difference in your scouting life – I know it has for me! Pins just keep falling off without them! One set of 40 is probably at least a year’s worth for most troops, and for a single girl they can last her entire scouting career! I prefer this kind because they’re a snap – there’s no special tool, no twisting. you just push them down into place. And when you’re ready to remove or reuse them, the little spring loaded tab pops them right back open.
A bonus tip!
For even extra security, you can put your pin *through* the tab, and *through* the vest. This isn’t an improvement over a locking pin, but it does keep the tab itself from flopping around and falling off. So simple!
every uniform service from The Badge Fairy includes free locking pins
Yay! When you send your uniform in for service, or order a uniform set up from me, it will come with all locking pin backs. Nice!

Are you able to take a lock back pin off if you want to?
Yep! The round part on the back is like a little spring loaded tab, so when you pull (hard!) it pops off for easy moving.
