60s 1963 Boy Scouts Fishing Derby Vintage Patch A rare vintage patch from the 1963 Cub Scout fishing competition "HUCKLEBERRY FINN FISHING DERBY" held in the United States. This patch is an official item distributed in collaboration with the Boy Scouts by "Better Fishing, Inc. (BFI)", a non-profit organization that promoted the enjoyment of fishing to children in the United States at the time. The charming fish in the center wearing goggles is the official mascot of the time, "Funny Fish." The embroidered "ME" in the lens is a rare, region-specific detail referring to the Moline-East Moline area of Illinois, a historic location along the Mississippi River. The event was themed after Mark Twain's timeless masterpiece, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and symbolizes the adventurous spirit and freedom of old America. #60s #BoyScouts #CubScouts #VintagePatch #VintagePatch #AmericanVintageClothing #AmericasCasualStyle #Fishing #Fishing #HuckleberryFinn #1960s #BetterFishingInc #FunnyFish #EmbroideredPatch #CollectorsItem
