Scouts

Headquarters: Mexico City, Mexico
First
Troop Founded: 1943
Changes:

*While
Scouts de America does not appear to have received a local council
charter from the BSA, members of BSA units in Mexico City wore Scouts de
America shoulder patches and other insignia over a sustained period of
time much as members of stateside units wore their local council
insignia. Furthermore, an Order of the Arrow lodge, Cuauhtli 446, was
associated with Scouts de America. For these reasons, and as an aid to
collectors, its badges are listed herein. |
