So,,,,, I took it upon myself to pick up the ball and run with it - With the Help of my 14 year old son who is working on his Life advancement.. This will be this years patch. Its 5 inches. Blue background. The N star (Polaris) at the top. For N Southern Cross on the bottom.. For S 20 18 fills in for the W and E on the compass.. We are part of the Voyageurs Area Council and the BWCA is in our area, thus BSA-VAC We are going into Hegman, so I have the pictographs built into the face.. Orion (winter Maker) over a large Black Fleur De Lis, Moose (Pegasus-Fall), Leo Hydra (Wolf-Spring) with a separate ghosted Fleur De Lis that is required by BSA.. Looks like costs will be $5 a patch. If I can get 100 or more patches ordered I believe I can get the cost down to $3 a patch.. If anyone wants in. let me know so I can get a final price and the order in... |

I will check with our crew to see if they are interested. We are meeting this week to plan our trip so it will be a good time to discuss. These are the patches we looked at last year. The boys picked #1009 because it reminded them of the campsite on Con Island. You and your son did a fantastic job designing that patch. |

firemedic5586: "bfurlow , charles21sue, your patches should be arriving Friday.. I got mine yesterday, and they are really, really nice! They will look amazing on a brag vest. Thanks so much for organizing everything. Hoping to take my 2 boys in later in the season and give them those as a surprise. Will be a great patch to show off to the other scouts, and completely unique. Thanks again. Brandon |

NoisyWetHerm I was going through and doing some pre-trip-prep, and noticed that I'm still sitting on the patches you wanted, 4@$5=$20 if my public education serves me right.. I have yet to hear from regarding getting these to you or you getting cash to me.. |

MiniMN has earned her camping patch (Girl Scouts) and her Eco Camper Badge which is all LNT camping. I like the BWCA specific badge. |

My son is an (adult) Eagle Scout and we are going up to BWCA this summer. |

A long story made short the order is in, and 61 patches should be done the week of May 29th. For those of you who wanted to "pre-pay" for your patch/s I have not been ignoring you... I just wanted to wait until I had the order in and the actual verified costs in hand... the last thing I want to do is take $ ahead of time and have things go sideways... The always go sideways for me.. |

I went to the Sommers Base 45 years ago this summer. It was my first trip to the BWCA and Quetico. |

I found it years ago by Isabella, if you look close it has the boy scouts logo on it. Be Prepared. |

dicecupmaker I never received an e-mail.... It may have went to my junk email folder and gotten dumped by accident.. my email is firemedic5586@msn.com |

LindenTree3: "I don't want to hijack firemedics thread and I didn't want to start one specific to this hatchet. That's pretty cool.. I'm sure that loss resulted in a broken hearted scout ounce upon a time.. Heck I can relate, I just put my Cold Steel Rifleman Tomahawk someplace safe in my basement, and can't find the darned thing.. There is an Old BSA Camp on Sand Point Lake that the Feds took when they created Voyageurs National Park.. I see the old dock and can see buildings still standing on the island every time I go flying by on the Lund.. I'd love to spend some time there with a metal detector and see what treasures I could return back to the BSA.. However Uncle Sugar frowns upon such activities.. :-( |

ALL SYSTEMS ARE A GO!!! I received the official word from Ben at Advantage Emblem and Screen printing out of Duluth.. The Boy Scouts of America has given the official Okay for the patch!! SoI guess that means I will be putting an order in... |
