This vintage Boy Scouts of America campaign hat was manufactured by Stetson and follows the classic “Smokey Bear” campaign style long associated with scouting uniforms and outdoor leadership. These wide-brim felt hats were used by scouts, troop leaders, and camp staff throughout the mid-20th century and have become collectible pieces of scouting history.
The hat features a wool felt body with a structured crown, ribbon band with cord, leather sweatband, and original chin cord. Interior markings include a faded Stetson crest stamp and Boy Scouts of America mark. A sewn name tag reading “Danny Martin” remains inside, reflecting its original ownership and authentic use.
