Bayport Scout Reservation 2009 patch added

Larry Johnson provided me with the picture you see above of the 2009 edition of the Bayport Scout Reservation patch. This version includes the text "Rappahannock Scout Camp," which according to the Bayport web site, offers the "traditional summer camp experience."

The design features the Birdsong Center and lighthouse climbing tower, as well as a sailboat, which are all prominent features of the Council's 300 acre Scout Reservation that opened for summer camping for the first time in 2007.

You'll find pictures of all of Bayport's emblems to date available on the Colonial Virginia Council Camp Emblems page.

Bayport 2008 patches

Larry Johnson kindly sent me images of all of the patches issued for the 2008 summer camp sessions at Bayport Scout Reservation, Colonial Virginia Council's camping facility that opened in 2007 to replace Camp Chickahominy.

The new issues are pictured in the animated image above and include a standard pocket patch available to everyone (black border), a blue bordered variety for campers, a white bordered staff issue, and finally a Rivah Base issue with blue border and "RIVAH" lettered on the tower. For larger images and pictures of the 2007 patches issued for Bayport see the Colonial Virginia Camps page.

Bayport Scout Reservation 2008 pocket patch

Larry Johnson kindly sent me a picture of the 2008 pocket patch for Bayport Scout Reservation, the camp serving Colonial Virginia Council that replaced Camp Chickahominy. The new design is a cut edge issue with black border and features a compass, the camp tower, and a sailboat.

There is also a blue-bordered participant variation of the pocket patch which I don't yet have a picture of. If you can provide one please let me know!

You can view all of the Bayport and Chickahominy patches in the Council Camps section of the Kecoughtan Emblems and History web site.

Bayport 2007 patch gallery completed

Larry Johnson kindly sent along images of the Bayport Scout Reservation 2007 Staff and Rivah Base emblems to help complete the gallery of patches issued so far this year.

Four diamond-shaped patches were issued for the summer camp sessions, including a camper version with purple border, a black bordered collector's edition for the camp's inaugural year, a white bordered staff issue, and a blue bordered version for Rivah Base.

In addition, registrants received a round patch for early payment. Pictures of each of these emblems are available on the Colonial Virginia Camps page in the Bayport Scout Reservation section.

New Bayport Scout Reservation patches

Colonial Virginia Council showcased Bayport Scout Reservation, their new Scout camp in Middlesex County with a grand opening council-wide Camporee on May 18-20, 2007. The Camp replaces the 40 year old Camp Chickahominy, which was sold by the Council to US Homes Corporation in 2004 due to encroaching development around it. With an estimated attendance of 1,700 the Camporee is believed to be the highest attended event in the Council's history. Tim Ewing kindly sent along an image of the patch that was issued for the occasion which was appropriately themed "The Adventure Begins." The patch notably does not include any text reference to Bayport but the design features a tower emblazoned with icons of activities available at the new camp.


While the May Camporee was the first council activity at the new camp, Wahunsenakah Lodge has already held their 2006 Summer Ordeal and 2006 Fall Fellowship at Bayport, pitching in plenty of cheerful service to help get the new camp ready. Reports about both events are available in the online archives of the Lodge's newsletter, Duck Calls.

Larry Johnson kindly sent along pictures of several new patches for inclusion on the web site, including a commemorative shoulder patch issued by the council, as well as several variations of the diamond-shaped camp patch. You can find the camp patches included in the new Bayport section of the Colonial Virginia Council Camps page.
