Over the years, unit flags for Senior Scouting units were issued that are different from those used by Cub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops. We record them here.
Air Scout Squadron Flag
It appears that in 1947, all Senior Unit flags where changed to match
the Sea Scout Ship flags. Does this mean that the Air Scout
Squadron
flags before 1947 were different in some way? Do not know at this
point.
Air Explorer Squadron Flag
Explorer Crew in Troop Flag
1949-58 (similiar to Patrol flags of the time)
Explorer Scout Post Flag
It appears that in 1947, all Senior Unit flags where changed to match
the Sea Scout Ship flags. Does this mean that the Explorer Scout
Post flags before 1947 were different in some way? Do not know at
this point.
