I believe in the early 1900'2 there was a shootoff known as the Sea Scouts. I have an old Scout Manual from the 30's and if I can find it, I'll see what it says.

How do you know it's a Boy Scout pin? Does it say Boy Scouts of America or B.S.A?

Here is a great Sea Scout history site... nothing about the plane over anchor though. http://seascout.org/about/history.html

I read in another post he found those items at an old scout camp. It looks like a tie pin/tack deal to me... the tie is held together with the clip and the chain/medallion hands over the tie... Ole' timey bling?

Now... there was another organization called the Air Scouts that were an off-shoot because of teh Sea Scout success... Check this link and see the books... towards the bottom, any look like your emblem?

If I had to guess, the Senior Scouting Program Notebook sure has something similar to wingman's photo and description.

Click on the Senior Scout link on Montana Jim's last web site referral and I think you'll find what you're looking for.
