Rare 70s Peace Sign Boy Scouts Vintage Patch Camporee BSA This is a vintage patch from a Boy Scout Camporee held in the United States in the early 1970s (estimated 1972-1975). This design is extremely rare, made only during the era of the "Improved Scouting Program," a legendary program reform implemented by the BSA in 1972. Reflecting the social climate of the Vietnam War era, the design boldly incorporates the peace sign, a symbol of hippie culture, instead of the traditional Scout symbols. Inside the peace sign in the center, there is an embroidered teepee (a mobile dwelling), a bonfire with the sun rising over the mountains, and a deer running powerfully, expressing respect for nature and a wish for peace. This valuable early model, made before the "BSA" notation and "fleur-de-lis" stamp were mandated on patches after 1976, is a historically valuable piece that blends the American counterculture of the time with Scout culture. #70s #BoyScouts #VintagePatch #MadeInUSA #PeaceSign #HippieCulture #AmericanGoods #Outdoor #CampingGear #EmbroideredPatch #CollectorsItem #BSA #1970s #VintageFashion #AmericasCasual
