Rare 1970s US Boy Scout Patch - 1977 Camporee Illinois This is a genuine vintage patch from the "FALL CAMPOREE," a Boy Scouts of America (BSA) autumn camporee held in Illinois, USA in 1977. The "West Suburban Council," which issued this patch, was a prestigious branch established in 1918 and based in La Grange, Illinois. As the branch was dissolved through a merger in 1993, original items from that time are now difficult-to-find collector's items. The design features a charming raccoon climbing a tree, symbolizing the rich forests of the Midwest, along with a campfire, tents, and the red fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the Boy Scouts, all rendered in detailed embroidery. The back retains the original embroidery marks, allowing you to enjoy the unique texture of vintage items. #1970s #BoyScouts #Patch #Vintage #MadeInUSA #Embroidery #Scout #Camp #Outdoor #UsedClothing #Americana #Illinois #CollectorsItem #1977
