Info on Colonial Philadelphia Merit Badge
We have running the cloth back, green border version of the Colonial Philadelphia merit badge. This was a special merit badge issued by Philadelphia Area Council. We got some more information in from a collector:
This badge was only made from 1975-1976 for the Bicentennial. This cb variation was a manufacuturing plasticizing error. It’s not a (true cb) as it wasn’t made from 61-71.
I’ve got in my collection the merit badge booklet, locally made, for this badge. We’ll try to get a picture posted as well.

How can I get the Colonial Philadelphia merit badge? I have my record card of earning it in 1976 with my BSA unit but never actually received the badge. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks, Ben.

We don’t have any available right at the moment. They’ve gotten pretty expensive, in the $150 range when we do have one in stock.
