Onteora Scout Reservation: Bluenose and Snowball Patches

It took a lot of cold weather camping to earn these patches. Click here for complete information on Operation Igloo, Bluenose and Snowball.   1978 WANTED 1980 1982 WANTED Bluenose was originally held at Camp Wauwepex, and moved to Onteora in 1993. This patch was available from 1993 to 1998. It was replaced with this version beginning in 1999. Each year, campers received a small dog for the sled, showing the year and District name. Each of the dogs for 1993-2000 are shown here: Undated dog for 2000 Two pins were also available, one each for Basic and Advanced Training. The Rough Rider District began their winter campout, Snowball, in 1986. After several years of successful operation under that name, the District changed the name of their event back to Operation Igloo. 1988 1990 1991 WANTED 1992 WANTED 1993 1996 1997 1998 When you warm up, you can head back to the main Onteora page. My sincere thanks to Jim Kent for the donation of several patches and loans of others for use on this site.
