Help with Medal - boy scouts?

[randazzo1]

This was in a lot of vintage boy scout stuff. Most of it I was able to identify pretty easily. From the 60s-70s and two USMC pieces. This one I’m stumped on. It’s similar to the piece on the attached link, but they’re stumped too.


It’s base metal. The medal itself is three pieces - the gold background, the silver cross and then the blue shield w a leaf in the middle.

Here’s the site with a similar design:

Kind of reminds me of my Granddads VFW pins

Are you positive it is a boy scout medal?

I was boy scout and if that's a medal I never made it that for. Most stuff we got we're merit badges. Might be the Eagle scout medal. Can't say.

Are you positive it is a boy scout medal?

No not at all. I suspect it’s not.

Colonial Order of the Acorn? Similar in some ways--are those acorns in the middle of your badge?

Well, the Fleur De Lis says French. And could that be a maple leaf in the middle?

That's brilliant... the little symbols are the corps markings!

GibH - we need our own hall of fame for ID’s like this. I spent about two hours trying to track this thing down and I’m certainly not a newbie when it comes to complex ID’s. Simply AMAZING.
