This is a rare vintage pin badge from the Boy Scouts held in the United States in the 1980s. This is an official commemorative item from the 1988 National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC), held in Ft. Collins, Colorado, for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) honor society, the "Order of the Arrow (OA)". The design features the "Thunderbird," a mythical bird that holds the OA's symbol, the "arrow," in its beak. Around the edge, the organization's motto is inscribed: "INSPIRED TO LEAD - DEDICATED TO SERVE." This is a substantial enamel pin that reflects the history of an organization rooted in Native American culture. It would make a great addition to a collection or as a focal point on a jacket or hat.
