This listing features a vintage Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Council Shoulder Patch (CSP) from the Central Illinois Council. The patch commemorates the "BEST BRAND ROUND-UP" and the "GOLDEN JUBILEE," marking the years 1910-1960.
The patch is circular, fully embroidered, and features a prominent gold Boy Scout Fleur-de-lis emblem integrated with a key design, set against a vibrant blue twill background. The text "BEST BRAND ROUND-UP" arcs around the top, with "CIC" centered above the Fleur-de-lis. The years "1910" and "1960" flank the emblem, and "GOLDEN JUBILEE" curves along the bottom, with "BSA" beneath the emblem. The patch boasts a cleanly merrowed yellow border and has a plastic backing, typical of many Boy Scout council patches.
