Material: Embroidered cloth.
Size: 40 mm.
Description: This vintage diamond-shaped uniform insignia features dense, high-quality embroidery on a dark green woven canvas backing. The central vignette features a bold golden-yellow fleur-de-lis, the universal emblem of the worldwide Scouting movement. Embedded within the two outer petals of the fleur-de-lis are small five-pointed stars, traditionally representing Truth and Knowledge. Encapsulating the central motif is an intricate white and green diagonal border woven to resemble a traditional scout pioneering rope. The reverse of the cloth insignia shows a soft, non-coated mesh cheesecloth backing with visible thread transitions that confirm its vintage fabrication.
Circa: 1950s-1960s
Notes:
The fleur-de-lis is the central emblem of Scouting and appears here in a simple diamond badge format. Until the exact use is confirmed, this is best presented as a Scout rank or identification badge rather than a named proficiency award.
