Badge Reference 2363 Date posted Saturday 26th of August 2023		Badge posted by Malcolm Clark Any ideas on this badge? Obviously Swedish. Dated 1946, could it be a Jamboree barge? Comment posted on Tuesday 29th of August 2023 by Malcolm Clark Answering my own question again!I was reading the badge as Aramso, but it actually reads Gramso. Put "Gramso 1946" into a search engine and you get this:http://scouthistoria.se/scouthistoria/ss/Granso_1946.pdfSo this is the badge of an international gathering, but the name jamboree was not used Add your Comments
Badge Reference 2362 Date posted Sunday 20th of August 2023		Badge posted by Paul Can anyone tell me if this patch is real or a reproduction? Thank you Comment posted on Monday 21st of August 2023 by gerry mcbride First of all is the Ribbon cotton or synthetic! it should be cotton and the threads should be cotton if either is shiny and synthetic then it is a repro! how cant tell by look then if there is a stray thread then could could use the flame test. But before you do that ALKAHN produce replicas in south Carolina and HK, another thing is the deer back stitching is too smooth and the accents over the O's should be at an angle touching not upright and away. Hopefully some one nearer to you can have a look a real is worth alot were as a replica is a gap filler till you get another mortgage. Hope that helps.ps I have not got a gap filler Comment posted on Thursday 14th of September 2023 by Jerry It was already mentioned a long time ago. The synthetic badge was made by Hungarian scouts in the diaspora to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1933 World Jamboree and was also used as a contingent badge to attend the 1983 Calgary World Jamboree (Hungary was still communist, but ethnic units in Canada , Australia and the USA were and are still very much alive).

Badge Reference 2361 Date posted Thursday 10th of August 2023		Badge posted by Malcolm Clark Unlabelled badges in collection of miscellaneous scout badges. Larger badge is bound, smaller is ribbon. Would seem to be commorative badges of some sort. Comment posted on Thursday 10th of August 2023 by Malcolm Clark answering my own question: I have now found another badge in the collection with the a similar design, but with wording "Year of the Scout 1907-1982" Add your Comments
Badge Reference 2360 Date posted Thursday 10th of August 2023		Badge posted by Malcolm Clark Unlabelled badge in collection of miscellaneous scout badges. Comment posted on Monday 14th of August 2023 by Malcolm Clark Answering my own question again, I have found that this badge is from the Scouts Association of Zimbabwe, Province of Matabeleland Comment posted on Monday 21st of August 2023 by gerry mcbride Hi MalcolmJust a quickie it should be cotton thread on cotton twill have a look at the back it should be open. however the ribbon or cloth that it was stitched on should be yellowy not beige as they were made on a sheet of cloth not strippings around that time they used to be made from the backs of scout shirts. It could be a nice gap filler. Someone with a african collection should be able to help I cannot get to mine as in the container away from the floods. Also the interlocking back then was never a perfect science so tended to be thick and thin in places as all done be hand and eye. Add your Comments

Badge Reference 2355 Date posted Monday 7th of August 2023		Badge posted by Malcolm Clark This badge seems to show the Devils Chimney in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. I have tried to contact the Leckhampton Scout Group but no reply. I would guess the badge is around 30 years old, has been worn. Has anyone come across this badge?

Badge Reference 2353 Date posted Monday 7th of August 2023		Badge posted by Malcolm Clark This badge would seem to be Wood Badge related.
