1960s Boy Scouts Vintage Patch 1965 Missouri A valuable vintage patch from the "SCOUT-O-RAMA," a Boy Scout festival held in the Kansas City area of Missouri, USA in the 1960s (1965). This is a commemorative item from the Blue River District. The birds on either side are thunderbirds, symbols of the "Mic-O-Say," a prestigious honor society unique to the scouts in this area. The yellow shield on which the eagle lands is reminiscent of "tanned leather" from the pioneer era, representing the pioneering spirit of the American Midwest. 1965 was also the year the 500,000th Eagle Scout in the United States was born, and the luxurious embroidery reflects the excitement of the scouting movement at the time. The back is reinforced with "cheesecloth," a vintage fabric, giving it an authentic antique texture. Please understand that this is an old item from over 50 years ago, and the texture of the threads due to aging is part of the vintage charm. #1960s #BoyScouts #BSA #Vintage #Patch #MadeInUSA #USAFurugi #AmericasCasual #EmbroideredPatch #Missouri #KansasCity #Thunderbird #Camp #Outdoor #CollectorsItem #1965
