In the 1950's the Capitol Area Council in Austin, Texas issued a Round Patch for issue to its member. The patch pictured an outline of the Texas State Capitol and was mostly used by Explorer Scouts from this Council. They were especially prevalent on uniforms of Scouts attending the 1957 & 1960 National Jamborees. Likely they were issued as a Contingent Patch for these events. They were the forerunner of most Council Patches and are highly collectible. Most old uniforms with these will have them on the right front pocket in the temporary patch area. Nearly all of these uniforms have a Tonkawa 99 S1 or S2 Flap, thus allowing us to date them. A neat Council collectible from the "Capitol" of Texas!
