1960s Red Boy Scout Vest with Embroidered Badges, Rank Patches, Trail Medals and Patches, Vintage deals Scouting Memorabilia

On sale! Vintage Boy Scout vest with more than 30 badges deals included, all dating to the late 1960s. This belonged to a scout in the St. Louis Council, and many of the badges are from St. Louis and Illinois, but others are from as far away as Florida and Ontario. The vest appears to be handmade out of felt with red bias tape around the edges. The badges are mostly hand stitched onto the vest (a few are stapled). Also included are five pins -- one a red enamel diamond with a thunderbird on it, plus four medals with ribbons for the Battle of Shiloh, the Lewis and Clark Trail, the Piasa Bird Trail (in Illinois), and Lead Belt Pilgrimage in Missouri.

The badges include four rank badges, a life scout heart, and 30 other badges for trails, campouts, councils, pilgrimages, and the 1967 World Jamboree. This is a great collection, and most of the badges are in very good condition. The vest is a little faded with a few holes, but in pretty good condition. Please see photos for details.

Size: The vest is 19.5 inches long x 17 inches across the front at chest level.
