2008 Hoosier Trails Council FOS Shoulder Strip

“A Scout is Helpful”

 

Once again, we are offering our collector FOS Council Shoulder Strip.  The 2008 shoulder strip is number 3 in a 12 part series.

 

2008 will be the 98th year of the Boy Scouts of America.  This years cost will be $98 or more if requested and paid by June 30, 2008.  The intent is that uniformed Scouts and Scouters wear this patch to show their support of our scouting program.  The intent is also that Scouts and Scouters only ask for the ones they will wear.
