Curator’s Corner

Our Curator is excellent at identifying Scouting artifacts that most people have never even seen before. And most of our Volunteer Staff is pretty good, too.  They can identify and describe the provenance of most of the items that are donated to us.  But once in a while, we need some help. And so we ask YOU, our supporters, to “fill in the blanks” with any information you may have about items you will see, from time to time, on this page.  Please respond via e-mail using the web portal at “CONTACT US” on this website.  Be as detailed as you can with the dates of use, geographic region (Council, District, or Country) and anything else that will help us evaluate and decide about items becoming a part of our permanent collection.

 

WHAT IS THIS?

 

7/31/23 – 1 – “DWC Sport-a-ree”

Our GUESS is that, based on the shape of the patch, that it is from a CUB SCOUT Program event.

_____________________________________________________________________________________7/31/23 – 2 – “Mead Base with rocker”:

What event was the rocker for, and are there additional similar rockers for other events at Meade Base, that go around this patch?  We KNOW about other blue and white rockers for Mead Base patches, but this is clearly from another series.
