Would anyone know the age of this Boy Scout token? I thought it would be fairly new. But my searches tell it’s from the early to mid 1900’s.
 

Those personalized metal typer tokens are always a cool find. I found one many years ago with a woman's name on it that was a person my Grandmother knew when they were young
 

Great finds - congrats !

Here's a few photo's of the Metal Stamping Machines that produced your Aluminum Token.
They were popular in the 1930's to 1960's era at Fairs and Carnivals.
