Please Help With Unknown Coast Guard Patch

[AirMechanic]

I believe this is a USCG patch, but I am not sure. It's about 1 1/2" in diameter. Is this a uniform patch? Is it from WWII? Thanks!

It looks like a Sea Scouts or Boy Scouts badge. Danny

I agree.Either a Sea Scout or merit badge.

I don't agree. Every Sea Scout insignia or badge I have ever seen incorporates a single vertical anchor with a Fleur de Lee and eagle with the scout motto BE PREPARED. The patch in this posting is a cloth version of the WW2 era Coast Guard Auxiliary collar insignia most commonly seen in metal.

This is not Sea Scout related. Had a chance meeting with a well connected 'Officer' of the CAP and local Sea Scouts from the Portland OR area yesterday. After he saw a pic of the patch, he said no on Sea Scouts. He has be with the group from the late 40s until now. Hope this helps!

Coast Guard OCS uses the standard naval midshipman anchor and has for a long time.
