Beautiful colors and such pastoral imagery.:thumbsup And the symbolism is so subtle.:rolleyes:

I think the difference here is in the irony that though the Scouts are not a corporation per se, they are supported largely by corporations of those "capitalist countries." I'm surprised the NFL didn't slap a Cease and Desist Order on them for using the fleur de lis symbol after the Saints won the Superbowl (they tried it on everybody else).:thumbsdown
I don't think I've seen the Mongolian version of the VLKSM/DISZ badge (if somebody has posted one or wants to do so in the Mongolian section, just PM me with a link so we can try to stay on the Hungarian topic here - despite my bad example:D).
