Goff's Oak
I traded for several of these little community strip ribbon badges while we were in England. I thought they were cool and since the Goff family came over from England, well I just had to have some.
The neckerchief got me into a little trouble. This Beaver Scout (Cub Scout here) wanted to trade his necker for one of our US contingent neckers. The rule was no adult and youth trading, but when I saw this one, well. I did get a verbal warning from the "patch police", but it was worth it.
I did some research on Goff's Oak and it is a town just east of London. Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham of the famed Spice Girls group and wife of the the big soccer dude, David Beckham is from there.
Very cool!
The neckerchief was worth it!!
