Found this cool and unusual Boy Scout slide today. Cleaned it up in some lemon juice. Came in like a penny on the nox.

Nice find. Haven't seen one like that before.
 

I wore one of those at the '53 BSA Jamboree.
Brings back good memories.
I believe they were first manufactured in 1950.
Don in SoCal.

Beautiful find!
 

Very cool !
 

Hey Don. Was that special. Something that you had to earn?
 

I remember one year we got a jamboree “coin”, looked like a huge gold piece. I believe it was for some anniversary of scouting. I still have it somewhere. I think they did different items for each jamboree.
 

Nice recovery. That one is in great shape. They made 2 types, one with the Boy Scout emblem in the corner (like yours) and one with the Cub Scout emblem.

Stay safe, good luck and keep swingin.
