As for the rank pins, it is correct that only the youth should wear those, with the sole exception of the rank of Eagle Scout.

My balmoral has a cockade of black (black balmoral) so I don't think that a rosette would look right without first removing the cockade.

Designing a cap badge and getting it approved would be a long task, but one which might be worth looking into. I'll have to do some poking around on this subject. Getting anything pushed through National in the way of uniform changes will be a daunting task to say the least.
Designing and wearing a patrol hat badge/pin would be fine. But the patrol (leader patrol) would need to be uniform in this.
