Material: Cloth
Size: 3 complete name tapes @ 70mm each
Description: The item is a continuous woven white cotton ribbon tape featuring the title "PEDER BODILS TROP" meticulously embroidered in a vibrant, Kelly green block lettering format. It consists of three identical 70mm segments specifically delimited by blank spacing gaps, allowing scoutmasters or youth to cleanly cut individual strips for sewing onto uniforms, equipment bags, or patrol flags. The naming honors Peder Bodil (Peder Bodilsen), a historic 12th-century nobleman and founder of St. Peter's Church in Næstved, Denmark, reflecting the traditional scouting practice of adopting regional historical figures for troop identities.
Circa: Mid to late 20th Century
Notes:
This uniform ribbon belongs to a registered unit of Det Danske Spejderkorps (The Danish Scout Association), specifically operating out of the town of Næstved. The group's namesake honors Peder Bodilsen, a highly prominent 12th-century Danish nobleman and landowner from the region who famously co-founded the historic Benedictine Saint Peter's Priory in Næstved around the year 1135.
