Description: The front profile of this rectangular woven badge features a large yellow-and-red embroidered fleur-de-lis set squarely inside a black concentric circle frame. Bold black block lettering spells out "CENTRE" across the upper field and "DISTRICT" along the lower margin, all layered cleanly onto a pale green twill fabric background. The insignia is structurally bordered by a thick, tightly stitched red merrowed edge designed to protect the uniform patch against fraying or structural wear during active outdoor excursions.
Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century
Notes:
The Boy Scouts Association in Canada originally operated under a regional framework branching from provincial councils down to smaller local districts. Following the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of Canada by an Act of Parliament in 1914, the organization experienced explosive growth that required highly localized management to oversee expanding troops. Local administrative zones, such as the "Centre District", were established within municipal or county borders to manage joint camporees, leadership training, and multi-troop events.
