Description: The artifact is a fully embroidered, circular Boy Scouts of America (BSA) summer camp pocket patch issued at Camp Mohawk, a dedicated military-sponsored scouting camp that operated near Salisbury, England. Designed for the sons of American servicemen stationed overseas in Europe, the emblem showcases an intricate profile portrait of a Native American chief adorned with a detailed feather headdress utilizing bright orange, black, and white embroidery threads. The central figure is enclosed within a crisp light-blue background field, framed securely by a circular black border cleanly stitched with the bold capital text reading "CAMP MOHAWK 1962 ENGLAND". This specific piece represents the administrative work of the BSA Transatlantic Council, which was officially chartered to ensure active military families could participate in traditional American scouting activities abroad.
Circa: 1962.
