Traveller Insignia and Patches

Planning to use a blue jumpsuit for a scout uniform. Are there currently any Traveller patches available? Been out of the loop for a while.
 
I in no way have the vast resources that others have. From my meager resources, any art for patches is often a bit lacking in detail. Perhaps on purpose. The main consistency through the few different resources I have access to, is the Imperial service emblem. Sometimes on the shoulder. Sometimes on the breast. Also many times seen on a ship next to it's registry.

The Imperial Interstellar Scout Service is red; the Imperial Navy, yellow; the Imperial Army, black; and the Imperial Marines, maroon.

There is also the starport authority patch

There are a few publications that detail the patches for a specific military group covered within it's pages.

I'm not aware of anything specific to scouts.

I don't think I own it, but The Astrogators' Guide to the Diaspora Sector features "Color insignia and symbols of leading governments and military organizations".
 
I would say browse the articles in various Traveller publications, JTAS in particular, to locate the IISS logo, I've seen many over the years that represent the rider on the 'lizard-pony'.

Addendum: Look at the link below

Grand Census had illustrations of Scout uniforms with patch locations and example patches for different Scout offices. The same illustration without the patch details is in World Builders Handbook.
