Early Shonendan [Boy Scouts] Officer Badge/少年團役員章

Size 25×20 mm.

In the early 1910s, five Boy Scout Associations called Shonendan [Boy Scouts] existed in Japan, almost all of which were modelled after British Boy Scouting and merged with Japanese traditional models of boys' groups. Most likely this badge was issued by one of these associations. it is impossible to say which one.
