Colonial Virginia Council Jamboree Visitor Patch

Earlier this summer Colonial Virginia Council issued a set of 5 Jamboree Shoulder patches surrounding a pentagon-shaped center patch. The 5 shoulder patches included two trader issues with a military theme, a patch for each of the Council's Jamboree troops, and a patch for Council members serving on staff at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree.

The Council also issued a special round jacket patch for their contingent of visitors who shared a bus to and from the Jamboree site on July 20. The group of 85 was comprised of members from Colonial Virginia and Heart of Virginia Council.

Thanks to Will Richards of Colonial Virginia Council for the picture of the patch and background information.

2013 Jamboree patch set issued by Colonial Virginia Council

Following the lead of many other Scout councils across the country, Colonial Virginia Council has issued a multi-part patch set for the 2013 National Scout Jamboree to be held July 15-24 at the new Summit Bechtel Reserve at Mount Hope, WV.

The set is comprised of a pentagon-shaped center patch flanked by 5 Jamboree Shoulder patches.

Thanks to Rob Kutz for providing the details about each issue:

Two of the JSP's are trader issues and picture an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet taking off and returning from an aircraft carrier.

Jamboree Troop A406's shoulder patch features a whitewater kayaker, while Jamboree Troop D312's shoulder patch depicts a Scout superhero fending off a fire-breathing dragon.

The fifth JSP is for Jamboree staff and shows the New River Gorge bridge near the Jamboree site along with a map of the area served by Colonial Virginia Council. The center patch depicts the journey from the council to the Summit.

You can view all of the Jamboree Shoulder patches issued by Colonial Virginia Council since 1993 on the CVC JSP page.

Wahunsenakah Lodge held their Spring Service weekend May 17-19 at Bayport Scout Reservation, and issued the patch pictured above, a 3 inch solid embroidered round pocket patch featuring the Guide Kichkinet.

Wahunsenakah issues two new metal flaps

Wahunsenakah Lodge recently issued two new metal flaps, each manufactured by the Witch Trail Committee of Mansfield, MA who also made the first Lodge belt buckle. Like the buckle, the new M2 and M3 metal flaps are replicas of the S2 service flap.

The metal flaps were available via preorder at a cost of $15 for the pewter M2 and $20 for the M3 which features a gold wash finish (see above). Both can be purchased by any member of the Lodge, but the M3 is only authorized for wear by youth members of the Lodge Executive Committee.

The manufacturer inadvertently omitted the fleur-de-lis from these versions, and a corrected reorder is planned for later this spring.
