You joke about finding a personal Scout item after 50 years but it happened to ME!
1964 at my first Boy Scout troop meeting I lost my kerchief slide about halfway through the meeting. Our meetings were held outdoors and we stood in patrol so it should have been right at my feet. But it wasn’t there
My family didn’t have a lot of money and my folks scrimped and scraped to buy me that uniform and I caught lots of grief for losing that item. For 4 months every spare moment I had I biked over and looked but no luck. Then I transferred to another troop and it was lost.
50 years later I was driving past the location Nd on a whim I pulled in. Grabbed a machine and walked to where I believed I had stood. 4 swings Nd I got a signal. 4 inches down in black mud was my lost trinket. Just wish my folks were alive to share my joy.
Lol at Shelly & Carrot cartoon!
Awesome ring, I hope to find one of those some day, bucket lister!
Congrats Kapi and thanks for the laugh.
If I found that, I would so wear it. Way cool.
Nice find there Barb!
Nice old ring! Musta been out there for a while, looks quite worn.
Congratulations. I posted one I found about a year ago. I carry it with me all the time. It's a great conversation piece. Something easy to show if someone asks what kind of things you find.
I e been looking for 1 for a long time. I did my time and now my oldest is a cub, my youngest will be joining soon.

Drool.
I'm still lacking any scout relics. It doesn't get any better than a silver scout ring.
We used to find a lot of those in the 1970s, when working-elementary school yards was the only places we ever thought to go to. But in recent decades, I don't recall ever finding a single one of those silver scout rings.
Pretty exciting find. Thanks for adding the cartoon I love it.
Yes!!! One of my favorite finds. I like the ocean blackened look of yours.
For years a silver scout ring has been high on my bucket list and still is.
Don't know why, I just want one bad so...jelly.
CongratZ!
Cool ring to find! Nice cartooning. Carrot looks spiffy in his little scout uniform.
Is the guy on the right Mudpuppy? Asking for a friend.
Nice ring! I have found plenty of sliders, but never ring.

I was lucky enough to cross that one off my list this year, congrats on the cool ring!
Nice find........
I haven't found a Cub Scout ring yet but a few years ago I dug this sterling silver Girl Scout ring.
