More Boy Scout memorabilia inherited from my dad's collection. These are two Boy Scout War Effort awards.
First one (green ribbon) reads on front:
NATIONAL VICTORY GARDEN INSTITUTE MACARTHUR AWARD
Back reads:
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN WAR FOOD PROGRAM
Second one (red striped bar) reads on front:
WAR SERVICE 1945
BOY SCOUT GEN. EISENHOWER WASTE PAPER CAMPAIGN
Back reads:
AWARDED FOR EXTRAORDINARY PATRIOTIC ACHIEVEMENT IN THE BOY SCOUT GEN. EISENHOWER WASTE PAPER CAMPAIGN MARCH-APRIL 1945
Not sure if these are rare or what the values are. These weren't awarded to my dad, so they don't hold any family/sentimental value.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can only tell you that medals have come up in value over the last several years but I know nothing where these are concerned either. Very cool Ray!
