Here's a Boy Scouts 75th Anniversary medal by Frank Gasparro. It is part of a Philatelic-Numismatic Cover (PNC).

Very nice examples, Lucky Cuss and commems! I'm hoping that there's room in this topic for the Girl Scouts too.

It seems that I got one of those in a lot of exonumia lately - having trouble locating it, however.

Found this one at a flea market today. I would not have given it a second look but I remembered this topic. Note - that's a raised bump on the saddle, not a hole.
