WWII Award "Junior Service"

[skeptic]

Found a small ribbon patch inside a scouting pamphlet I bought, and was not able to identify for sure what it was. Just received another SCOUTING MAGAZINE for my collection, September, 1943, and found the details of the item in a section called "Scout War Service". Have posted a copy of that page, and the patch/ribbon on the Facebook page for this site.

 

Also found a link, once I had the name of the organization, "The Junior Service Corps", sponsored by the Office of Civilian Defense. Here is the link with some info on that, and a picture of the ribbon; http://www.vintagekidstuff.com/jcsc/jcsc.html

 

Take a look if you are interested.

Thanks, I've seen these for my son's WWII Scout living history impression. I have a lot of BSA WWII stuff, including catalogues that are good reference. Email me or post here if you are interested in anything.
