In boyscouts are badges from japan worth alot in boy scouts?

Question

Answer 1

Hello Ghost Rider:

The badges you earn while in Japan will be highly valuable to you as you get older. They will remind you of the fun and adventure of Scouting in another nation. You won't want to trade them for anything.

Keep on Scoutin'

Answer 2

Worth a lot? Nope. Event patches are interesting, but not worth much money. When I was doing a lot of patch collecting, I would swap patches like that 1 for 1 with patches I earned or bought locally.

Rank patches are more valuable, but even those are not 'worth a lot'. (If I remember the rules right, you really cannot trade US rank patches per BSA rules.)

Answer 3

probably not, boyscouts is an all around the world thing so it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but the unique badges would be a something u could explain to everyone in your new pack and probably get something out of it
