I have a collection of all the National Jamboree patches (and a couple from World). Everything from 1957 forward is in mint condition.
About 10 years ago I mounted them in a frame by drilling through a piece of artboard and catching each patch with one or two stitches just in the edge of the border. I think this is fine, it's not as if the patches have been sewn on a uniform.
The problem with this method is that I can't move the patches. All I can do with the newest patches for the past three jambos is stick them inside the edge of the frame. I'll like to come up with a better system.
Does anyone know how to mount the patches which will still keep them in a mint condition? My primary concern is not to do anything which will damage the patches. I don't want to use any kind of adhesive on them, which could damage them and lessen the value.
If the system I have is the best I can do, I suppose once ever three jamborees I can afford to re-do the display. But before I do, does anyone have any suggestions?
