Oldscout448 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 About four decades back when I had just returned from Philmont for the first time a friend gave me a small bronze pin he said he found somewhere. It looks like a philmont arrowhead about 5/16 " long but with a tiny red triangle in the center. I assumed ( oh that word!) that it was some sort of OA Vigil award and therefor unwearable by me. So I put it in a little box along with some year pins and such. Any one know what it is? Or where I should look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krypton_son Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm not sure on that. I would have to agree, it sounds like a Vigil pin. Do you have any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAHAWK Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Seems like it's an Indian Guides pin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-YMCA-INDIAN-GUIDES-LAPEL-PIN-ARROWHEAD-DESIGN-/322321696031?hash=item4b0bdec51f:g:h3sAAOSw0HVWAWMu http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-YMCA-Arrowhead-Indian-Guides-Lapel-Pin-Enamel-Red-Triangle-Free-S-H-/132004758147?hash=item1ebc18c283:g:SV4AAOSwHMJYK8HH https://www.etsy.com/listing/470886066/ymca-guide-club-official-membership-pin?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=ymca%20indian%20guides&ref=sr_gallery_11 A triangle was the YMCA symbol until 1967 and the arrowhead for its Indian Guides program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldscout448 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yup, an Indian Guides Pin. Darn, I was hoping it was a vintage Vigil lapel pin for non uniform wear. I guess I could still wear it, I was in Guides for a year or so. Unlikely though. Thanks anyway Tahawk Oldscout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
