A spin off of the classic Philmont Felt Bull. This patch is still the classic Philmont Felt Bull we all know and love but has an iron on backing that gives it more durability.

The Philmont black felt bull was created in 1944 by Dr. E. K. Fretwell, who was then Chief Scout Executive. It was patterned after the bull found in the tile mosaic located at the downstairs entrance to the Villa Philmonte. In the beginning, a first year camper or leader received only the head of the bull to sew over the left pocket of the shirt. After another year's participation, one qualified for the body portion and the bull, and with three years, the tail. Eventually the bull was made in one piece, black for men and white for women, and the shirt was changed to a red wool jacket. The white bull was discontinued in the late 1980's.
