Each year Wauwepex has issued a patch for campers to wear on their
uniform, either on their shirt or jacket. It's fun to look through them as
reminders of camping seasons past.
Here are the earliest Wauwepex patches, up
through
1969. Links to the later years are at the bottom of this page.
| The
earliest Camp Wauwepex patches were made of felt and shaped like a
teepee. They had a CW for the camp and a number. You
earned one of these patches by completing a Scoutcraft skill test.
You would then get a patch with a "2" for your second
test, then a "3" and so on. Some versions had the CW and
number flocked on, others used embroidered letters and numbers. |
