raynari Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have an 84 year old man who is about to recieve his eagle rank after waiting almost 60 years. He met the requirements back in 1933 but was asked to wait for his rank by the troop committee. Then there was a tragic accident when a scout lost his life while on a hike. again he was asked to wait. Before he could recieve his rank he joined the crew of a ship that went to Norway and life went on. If National OK's his application (which they have indicated they will) I would like to present him with a merit badge sash from that era. If you have any patches you would be willing to donate I would be greatfull and you would make an old scout very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 raynari, I have several MBs from that era that I would give your Eagle scout. Private message me and we can work out what badges he needs. Bob White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreaScouter Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 If you need any old badges that you can't get donated, and have a photo, digital or scanned, or graphic representation (even as a powerpoint slide), I can get them made as one-offs over here. They don't work for free, but I will be your "quartermaster" and handle the mail... Private message me if you need my help. I'd be honored to be part of this...

acco40 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have the following Merit Badges from that era: Atomic Energy, Cinematography, Computers, Electronics, Environmental Science, and Space Exploration Sorry, couldn't resist. Congratulations to the the "young" man on his accomplishments. I wish I could help. Earning his Eagle at 14 years of age was quite an accomplishment in those days (still is if you ask me).

KoreaScouter Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 They had Space Exploration and Atomic Energy MBs in 1933? Somebody at National was way ahead of their time! KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
