and I have tried to find out about it online and am having no luck. It looks just like the red and black one of 1950 or so but is a green background with silver on it.....can anyone help??

Hi stripersteve,

 

It sounds like what you have is a Cubmasters patch. The Assistant Cubmaster patch was green with gold trim. There were other adult position patches with different color backgrounds and trim. Later they were made with the position name on them as well. Probably the previous patches were confusing to the uninitiated.

 

Im not sure on the dates of use, late 1950s or early 60s maybe?

 

YIS,

Mike
