Malaysian CSP
The CSP (Council Shoulder Patch) is popular among the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) as a collecting item. Each Scout Council have their own uniquely design CSP and they can come in various issues and colors. With many Councils spread across more than 50 States in America, it makes CSP collecting even more challenging and fun!
The CSP has perhaps inspires me the most to collect. I have in my collection about 500 CSPs but as time goes by, I realised I can't collect all of them. Furthermore not being in America (and never been to America), it is just very difficult. So I narrowed down my collection to a few namely only regular issues, NCAC (National Capital Area Council) issues and Direct Service issues.
But anyways, the reason for my posting this time is to let you know that in Malaysia, the Scoutleaders also wear a CSP shape badge on their left shoulder, just like the CSP. The difference is the Malaysian CSP depicts the leader's position eg. Scoutmaster, District Commissioner etc. If you want one, to add into your CSP collection as a unique and foreign CSP, do let me know.
