Camp Patches
and
Other Items

Over the years several different styles of patches have been issued to the Scouts and leaders who attended summer camp. At least one shield patch, the size of a back patch, was also issued. Here are some of those patches with the approximate date of use.


Issued Around 1938	Shield patch about size of a back patch. Maybe issued in the 1930s

1942 - Silk Screened on felt Composite material on back.	1941 - Silk Screened on felt 1941 OA Conclave at camp.

1940s through early 1950's Silk Screened on felt	1945 - Silk Screened on felt 1945 OA Conclave at camp. Cut out of a 1944 Camp Pennant

1943 - Silk Screened on felt	Explorer Bivouac - Woven

In the early 1950's through the late 1950s the camp started using woven patches, with a gray background, that looked out from the porch of the log cabin across the parade ground to Cat Mountain. The star, located on the right, in the patch represents the Lone Star Trail. The "TW" on the left was the camp brand.

In the late 1950's through the middle 1960s woven patches were used with a white background keeping the same view as in the previous patches.
