Who can help?

I've received an old scouting cap from a relative and need to know the origin. It's a wool dark green beanie type constrution that comes down lower in the back. It has a short bill and gold color beading around the bottom and six gold beadings down from the top button to the bottom beading. It has a green merit badge-size patch on the front with a gold world scouting crest. It reminds me of the old baseball style cap from field of dreams. Made by Philip Joseph and has a place on the inside label for a name and school. I'm thinking it's probably English but I don't know from what era. The name inside is David K. so it has to be a boys. Can you help?

I once saw an Italian Cub Scout cap that fits that description.

Other then the World Crest,it sounds like the cap that I wore as a Wolf Cub (Not a den, we were Wolf Cubs. At that time mid 60's the highest award in Wolf Cubs was the Leaping Wolf.

When you reached your 11th birthday you were part of your final Grand Howl and then leaped into the troop)in England.

The patch on the cap was a blind wolf and then as you made your way through the ranks, you earned stars that went on your cap and jersey, The stars on your cap showed that you had one eye open then two eyes open.

The pack was divided not by age, as new Wolf Cubs joined they were put in a six. The Six's were lead by a Sixer who had as an assistant a Seconder.

It was a lot of fun.

It changed in 1969. After the "Advanced Party Report." And has undergone more changes again this year.

One thing that I do miss is the "Grand Howl" I did it with a couple of hundred Cub Scouts at day camp a few years back. It used to be mentioned in the Cub Leader Book. I have up to date copies, but have not got around to reading them.

No, this is green and gold world crest patch on the front. It is wool and well made. It certainly looks English. This is a 6 and 3/4 size.
