Canadian Beret

Greetings!

I picked this up today. And I have not a clue. I am hoping it is not crap... looking for assistance with ID of the insignia and era.

Thank you in advance!

From the label, it looks like a Catholic Scouts Organization Berret.

It looks very similar to the "Four Arrows" Scouts organization here in Quebec.

Someone may or may not have sewn that label in.. :S

This is all an assumption so wait for an expert to chime in but it definatley resembles scouts I've seen in Quebec :)

Hello Rogi! Like boy scouts of america?

[Rogi]

Yes, or similar to Cadets, it really depends on what "Scout" they used as variation.

Usually Canadian Scouts don't carry or shoot weapons for the children's organizations.

Just make sure to double check, this could in all possibility be some Military group within Canada too but the Scouts Canada really makes me think Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts style

Google search suggests the Scout connection is valid/likely:

'Fraid so. Somebody sold you a pup. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? We've all been bitten a few times. Hope it wasn't a big investment.

What about the patch? Part of the Beret or might be something different? (addition later on?)

[jonsey2001]

Thanks. It wasnt cheap but I dont think i lost out. I must confess that when I saw Airborne" I got excited. Ant the red plume is interesting. Thank you all for the feedback.

Nope... Airborne could be the model... Could be the company name... Definitely a cub scout hat and badge... Sorry.

No doubt about it. Thanks again.
