Bidspirit auction | Boy Scout Patches Collection 1960s-70s
Boy Scout Patches Collection 1960s-70s - Collection of 12 embroidered Boy Scout patches spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, centered on Sauk District events in what appears to be the Midwest council system. The lot includes two Sauk District Camporee patches (1968 and 1969), a 1968 patch marked ”Bruin Lake Council Camp” with blue and gold coloring, a Portage Trails 1969 with forest scene embroidery, and a Potawatomi Fall patch, Chippewa 1972. Plus more. The patches show period-appropriate aging with slight fading and minor fraying at edges typical of patches worn or stored for decades. Several exhibit the careful embroidery and dense stitching characteristic of official Scout production from this era. This grouping appeals to Scout memorabilia collectors, Midwest Scouting historians, and those assembling regional camporee documentation from the formative years of modern Scouting expansion.
