Treasure detail

Royal County of Berkshire Boy Scouts District Badge

Under Review

Material: Cloth

Size: 55mm x 55mm

Description: The square woven specimen serves as an official county and district shoulder emblem for the Berkshire Boy Scouts Association (widely abbreviated on the patch face as BERKS). Rendered in a sharp, contrasting two-tone palette, the design features a bright yellow-gold embroidered motif beautifully set against a dense forest-green twill fabric backing. The central imagery proudly displays the historic Berkshire Hart and Oak tree, a traditional regional symbol dating back centuries that captures a male red deer standing under a majestic oak tree to represent strength, growth, and natural heritage. A flowing golden scroll completes the bottom edge, framing the text in clean block capitals surrounded by a tightly locked, matching over-edge stitched border engineered to resist uniform wear.
Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century
