The ultimate guide to Boy Scout collectables


[post_page_title]Type A merit badges[/post_page_title]
Back in the day when young scouts were first given cloth merit badges to pin on their sash or uniform, these were the first kind they made. Today they are known as “Type A,” as many different styles have followed them. What makes these particular badges unique is that they were the only kind made in the shape of a square, unlike the circular badges you might recognize today. Manufacturers would have the badge image repeatedly printed on a long stretch of fabric, which they would then cut into squares to be given out. They were mostly produced between 1911 to 1933, and their age and unique shape is what makes them desirable to many collectors.
