There have been many patches released as mementoes from Scout shows of all types.
I scanned many of these patches years ago when file sizes were usually kept low both for space and for download times. I hope to redo these in larger sizes in the future.
Please let me know if you have any patches not shown - even a scan would be appreciated.
The Cavalcades were an exhibition of Scouting skills - and a big source of income for the Council. They were held on a bi-annual basis back when I was involved. They were massive events - more than 250 troops participated in the 1965 Cavalcade, for example. The usual site was the now-defunct Roosevelt Raceway.
