I’ve heard there are quite a few Stetson experts here, and I was hoping you might be able to help me with a Stetson Scouts BSA campaign hat I recently picked up.

I’m a lifelong Scouter and have always admired the classic campaign hats. I finally found one that fits me well, and I’d love to learn more about it. Can anyone shed some light on its history—specifically when it might have been made or any background details?

The hat also has a few spots and a noticeable sweat mark that I haven’t been able to clean out. If anyone has tips for safely cleaning and restoring it, I’d really appreciate the advice.

Thanks in advance!
