Material: Cloth

Description: This circular cloth insignia is meticulously constructed with multi-colored machine embroidery over a durable woven cream twill backing panel. The central design showcases a large, bold red Greek cross that serves as the universally recognized symbol for medical assistance and humanitarian aid. Flanking the sides of the central cross are two thick, curved semi-circular borders embroidered in deep emerald green. The top arch prominently features the word "SENIOR" stitched in a matching green block-serif font, balanced by the word "SCOUTS" looping along the base. Measuring exactly 37mm in diameter, the outer border is wrapped securely by a heavy, tightly bound protective white edge thread. The reverse side remains unlined, showcasing a clean off-white bobbin thread field configuration typical of mid-century British textile manufacture.
Circa: 1947 - 1967
