Artifact of the Week 20241018 - Patch Vests

So how can a Scout or Scouter share their adventures with others in a highly visible manner? The patch vest/jacket or brag rag, of course. These wearable billboards got their start in an unlikely place, and they are not as common today as they were just a few short years ago. If you have been a Scout or Scouter for any length of time, you have probably seen one of these and wondered how they came about. Well, your wait is over. Enjoy, and maybe consider starting a patch jacket for yourself or pulling that one you already have in storage and showing your fellow Scouts all of the exciting activities you have participated in.
