Vintage Boy Scouts of America merit badge collection with 25 original merit badges still sewn onto a section of the original sash.
This is a great older group that appears to date primarily from around the 1960s to early 1970s era. The collection includes a variety of classic and discontinued BSA merit badge designs, including older examples related to Marksmanship, Citizenship, Safety, First Aid, Aviation, outdoor skills, conservation, shooting sports, and more.
Several of the badge designs are no longer used in this form, making the group especially interesting for Boy Scout memorabilia collectors.
The badges have not been removed from the sash and are being sold together exactly as found. I believe keeping them sewn in their original arrangement adds to the historical character of the piece.
Condition is very nice overall for the age, with normal vintage wear, age toning, and minor signs of use/storage. Please examine all photos carefully for exact condition, colors, stitching, and badge variations.
Includes:
- 25 vintage BSA merit badges
- Original section of merit badge sash
- Multiple older/discontinued badge designs
- Sold together as one original vintage group
I have not removed the badges to inspect the backs, so exact BSA badge type/designation and precise dates are not guaranteed.
A very nice vintage Boy Scouts collection for a BSA memorabilia collector, former Scout, display, collection, or historical reference.
Sold as pictured. Please use the photos as an important part of the description.
