Robert Kaufman came out with a line of Boy Scout fabric that I found at quilt shops and quilt shows.
Perhaps one of the most rare today is this particular sash from the 1930s. They earned this moniker because of the large amount of space between the end of the badges’ design and the end of the actual badge. I buy Boy Scout Collectibles,
And, there are a very few that try to collect every patch, neckerchief and souvenir made for every jamboree held. World’s Fairs in 1939 and 1940, held in New York and San Francisco, respectively, sold scouting service corps memorabilia. The Boy Scouts of America grew out of the international Scouting movement founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1908. As the boys earned the little badges, they were sewn around the bigger center circle. One has the state of Georgia missing. It is a very special organization. It was because of the specificity of these tasks that it was deemed more difficult than the tasks for the Star badge. Sarah is asking about the patches that Logan, a Star Scout in Troop 16 of Arkport, N.Y., wore in the “temporary patch position” on the right pocket. A “red and white” council patchs and from a Hibbing, Minnesota, Sea Scout uniform. This was the largest attendance ever at a Jamboree (not counting 1973 which had two locations). These are quite rare. For those who choose to branch out the Sea Scouts, the highest rank you can achieve is the Quartermaster award. It is extremely difficult to accomplish, and only about 0.5% of Sea Scouts have achieved it. Generally speaking, the older the patch is the better. Some collect every issue from specific councils. We offer the same great service and art as with our unit patches.
We will offer to buy individual Boy Scout Collectible items, or entire collections depending on what you have and what you want to do. They are responsible for most of the administrative work needed to help the organization run smoothly. CSPs vary in value from $1 to some in the hundreds and a few in the thousands. Today, patrol patches are also multicolored and of small value. The arrow was very delicate and as a result, most of the surviving slides have a broken arrow. A common retail price for JSPs is $5, but the rarer ones bring much more. Actually, I made a drawing for a center circle patch with an Indian logo, pack # & such on it. The brass BSA Monogram and Troop 29 Numbers are made of Brass and have a screw back.
Once the Eagle Scouts were established, it still remained the highest rank before that point. NOAC’s were held in 1950, 1952, 1954, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1987, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2009. There was no memorabilia issued for the 1929 and 1931 National Meetings, but in 1933, there was a beautiful rectangular celluloid nametag issued, as well as a ribbon that was attached to the nametag that said “Delegate.” Other than paper delegate nametags in 1936 and 1938, 1938 also saw a metal arrowhead-shaped neckerchief slide with a plastic arrow attached. The reason for the high price is that these were serially numbered on very fragile silk. And yet, many stamp collectors who were scouts find this specialty area to be a favorite—so much so that there is an International organization for these collectors called Scouts on Stamps Society International—SOSSI for short. These were first called National Meetings of the Grand Lodge and the first one was held in 1921 in Philadelphia, followed by similar meetings in 1922, 1924, 1925 and 1926. You can add to your scouting items things found in antique stores to celebrate the various World Fairs to really add to the interest of your collection. We will offer to buy individual Boy Scout Collectible items, or entire collections depending on what you have and what you want to do.
Some collectors find these badges attractive since they are location specific, and not many people may have owned them. Maybe make a shirt quilt with patches and buttons and all? We buy all types of boy scout collectibles.
