Rare 1975 US Boy Scouts Patch 70s Vintage Ford Administration Era This is a vintage patch from the 1975 "Scout-O-Rama," a Boy Scout jamboree held in the United States. This 1975 model was made to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). At the time, President Gerald Ford, a former Scout, served as honorary chairman, and it's an item from a very patriotic era, with the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States (1976) just around the corner. The "75" in the center indicates the year of the event, and "BE SAFE BE FIT" at the bottom is a slogan from the health and safety promotion campaign based on the BSA's main theme of "Be Prepared for Life." The vibrant tricolor colors and heavy embroidery, typical of the 70s, make this a valuable piece as a historical document that conveys the atmosphere of America at the time. #70s #BoyScouts #BSA #Vintage #Patch #America #Military #ScoutORama #1975 #UsedClothing #AmericasCasual #EmbroideredPatch #GeraldFord #US200thAnniversary #CollectorsItem
