Vintage 1970s Scouting Collection — Single Owner Archive, 57 Patches Plus Additional Items

An original 1970s Scouting collection assembled by one boy, Bradley Thompson, of the Beenleigh Troop in the Logan district of South East Queensland. His name is pencilled on the Prayer/Law/Promise card included in the lot. Everything here came out of one scout's active years, roughly 1975 to 1978, and it has stayed together since.
