Boy Scout Patches

Boy Scout patches come in many different designs, shapes and sizes. Prices vary depending on the age of the patch, its condition, size and where it is sold.  Naturally, patches that are older or harder to find will cost more than patches that are more easily available. 

If you are looking for older Boy Scout patches, then you may want to try checking antique shops in your area.  Antique shops may or may not have these in stock; a lot depends on the individual shop and what it specializes in.  Flea markets and garage sales may also be good places to look for these items.

However, the easiest way to find Boy Scout patches is via the internet.  Going to garage sales, flea markets and antique shops is a bit of a 'pick and shovel' method.  While you may be able to find some good deals, it can also be quite difficult to locate a particular patch via this method.

There are quite a few online retailers that sell Boy Scout patches; when looking for older Boy Scout patches, you will want to check online retailers that specialize in selling antique items.  You can expect older Boy Scout patches to be used, and the condition such patches are in may vary.  The one disadvantage to shopping for used Boy Scout patches online is that you will not be able to see them in person and thus ensure that they are still in new or fairly new condition. 

Besides sites that sell used or antique items, there are also websites that specialize in the sale of boy scouts memorabilia.  These sites usually have a good selection of Boy Scout patches; if you cannot find a particular patch, you are looking for on one of these sites, and then try checking another.  No site has a complete and comprehensive collection, but each site does have a good many to choose from.  These sites are also good places to look for other Boy Scout memorabilia items; there are also fascinating places where you can learn a quite a bit more about the boy scouts movement.
