What are the JROTC Standards for Earning a Color Guard Shoulder Cord?

That is up to your unit. As with many JROTC awards and devices that students are eligible to wear on their uniform. That is why some JROTC cadets look like they can hardly hold up their uniform since it is so weighted down by awards while others wear just a few awards. It all depends on what the JROTC instructors have developed for the unit. Image courtesy Marlow White, www.marlowwhite.com.
