- We were in Australia in 1988 and happened on a scout shop in downtown
- Melbourne. They had many patches available. I'd suggest that your
- father simply check the local phone book for Sydney and he'll
- likely find a scout shop in the Sydney area. If that fails, he
- might try contacting a local scout office in the Sydney area.
-
- Odds are the same thing would work for NZ.
-
- Your father might also want to write to BSA (USA) headquarters ahead
- of time to get some names/addresses/phone numbers of the scouting
- offices in Australia and NZ before he goes.
- If he did that now, there's
- plenty of time for correspondence (but do have him send anything by
- airmail).
