ANOTHER ONE

[sonofadigger]

I have never heard of or seen one of these until a couple days ago when I found one but now I have found another this one is not as pretty and its got a different symbol im gonna clean it up and post more pics of it

 

[frankendime]

Weren't they called Webelo Scouts years ago or still maybe?

WeBoLoS (W = Wolf, B = Bear, L = Lion, S = Scout) This was a group done with cub scouts and studying the Boy Scout reqs to become a Scout. Once the criteria were met they became a Scout of the rank Tenderfoot.

The symbol on this one is from a Cub Scout. Boy Scouts wore one with the Tenderfoot emblem on them.

This from a former Life Scout (2 merits badges away from Eagle).

Cool find I found a brand new looking one just barely touching the dirt in the grass this year

We were always told it was WE'll Be LOyal Scouts. Don't even think they had Lion as a rank back when I was in Cubs...but that was a LOOOONG time ago. But, yeah, the one that you found is from a Wolf rank Cub Scout neckerchief.

I was a cub scout in the early 60s. At the time, Bobcat, Wolf, Bear and Lion were the ranks as a Cub Scout. Somewhere along the line, they dropped Lion. I was out of scouts once the family left for Guam and Japan in '68.

Yep I'm with the rest of you guys , I must have lost a dozen myself. Found about half dozen to date.

 

[DeerStalker]

Ah, so it's not that Lion came in AFTER I left Cub Scouts, it was there before I was in. Thanks for the info on that one.

 

[sonofadigger]

well now that i know they are there it will be my lifes mission to find them all and then sell them for one million dollars mmmwahh ha hahaha (dr evil laugh)

Just to make everything perfectly clear, there are four stages of scouting:

1. Tiger Cubs
2. Cub Scouts - Bobcat, Wolf, Bear ranks
3. Webelos - "We'll Be Loyal Scouts"
4. Boy Scouts

I love finding them. I have had a couple of good hunts when I found a scout meeting place.
Here are some I found in one hunt.
