Description: This vintage fabric patch was worn proudly on the uniform sleeves of young boys serving within the Wolf Cubs, the junior section of the Boy Scouts Association. The design is meticulously machine-woven on a circular, dull green cotton cloth backing, featuring a highly stylized wolf head stitched in vibrant crimson thread at the absolute center. Arching gracefully along the lower perimeter is the bright red woven text "BOY SCOUTS" to formally anchor the organizational branch motif. A tight, overlocked merrowed border in a matching green shade seals the perimeter of the patch, providing a durable edge designed to withstand active outdoor field training and camp craft usage.
Circa: 1920s to 1960s
Condition: Used
Notes:
The term "Tenderpad" was traditionally used to describe a new recruit who had just entered the Wolf Cub pack and passed his initial basic testing requirements before moving on to earn his first or second star.
