Yes that is a Swastika you see behind a Boyscout badge but do not let it throw you.
before the swastika became a the universal sign of NAZI hatred
it was used as sign of good luck . Even Buddhas can be found with Swastikas on there heads .
This medal in particular was given to citizens who helped do good for scouting.
As far as any NAZI connection and scouting there are none to be found in fact Hitler wanted Baden Powell very dead as with the Boy Scouts movement .
Many say the Hitler youth where modeled after the boy scouts this is not true either. Nor is the boyscout salute a Hitler salute that was used well before the Nazis ever did a Seig Heil yet there are those who would have you believe otherwise.
You will also find rhetoric to the fact Baden Powell was a homo sexual and pedophile again no truth found to this as well.
Lots of rumors and inuenda but no solid proof I could find anywhere. just those who can not stand right from wrong and being a good citizen trying to smudge the boy scout name.
