Rare 70s Boy Scout Patch 1979 Klondike Derby Disbanded Troop This is a commemorative patch from the traditional winter competition "Klondike Derby" held in 1979 by the "DuPage Area Council" in DuPage County, Illinois, USA. The issuing organization, the "DuPage Area Council," was dissolved in 1992 due to a merger, making this a rare "legacy council" item that is no longer available. The event is a grueling winter competition themed around the 1890s Canadian Klondike Gold Rush, where scouts pull sleds and compete in survival skills in the snow. A retro embroidered design depicts a snowshoe hare, a symbol of winter, gliding down a snowy mountain on snowshoes. It evokes the good old American outdoor culture. Although it is a vintage item from 45 years ago, it is in good condition, and the embroidery retains its three-dimensional quality. #70s #BoyScouts #Vintage #Patch #Embroidery #AmericanGoods #VintageClothing #Military #Outdoor #Camping #Illinois #Retro #Collection #Scout #1970s
