Patches from Nassau County Council/Theodore Roosevelt Council
Page 4 - Camporees
Camporee patches - each year the Council held a weekend Camporee somewhere on Long Island. Troops would compete in a variety of contests, with the events open to the public. Many of the camporees were at Camp Wauwepex, but others were held at places such as Eisenhower Park in East Meadow or the abandoned Mitchell Field Air Force Base, now Nassau Community College. Patches were issued for each of these events. Beginning in 1984, the camporees were held by the different districts throughout the Council, which issued their own patches in place of Council-wide editions. 1940  WANTED Undated 1940s WANTED 1945 - Community WANTED 1945 - District WANTED 1947  WANTED 1948 WANTED Generic 1950 design WANTED 1951 WANTED 1952 1956 WANTED 1958 1960 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 This design was reused for the 1998 Rough Riders District Camporee. 1968 Potlatch was a themed camporee held in 1969. Evidently people didn't follow the theme and the idea was dropped. The 1970 Camporee was called a Skill-O-Ree for some reason. 1971 Project S.O.A.R. - Save Our American Resources 1972 For some reason the words "Lynbrook U.S.A." were embroidered across the design of this 1972 Camporee patch.
