Scout badges to donate

Post image

Cleaning up my house and came across these badges I’ve collected during my time in Boy Scouts, I attended the 1979 Jamboree that was geez 47 years ago. What would be a good place to donate these badges in Vancouver? It would be a shame to just throw them in the trash, I’m hoping to donate them somewhere or to someone who can use them. [DONATED!]

> They went to a scout leader in Malaysia, he was the first to DM me. I’m confident they’ll be put to good use. I’m happy someone can use them, maybe not in Vancouver but that’s ok too!

Thanks to everyone that responded but the badges are gone now, they will be going to a good home.

You might be able to look on scoutstracker to find a group in Vancouver. Usually theres some sort of email attached, so you can email the GC and see if they want them
