Go Chiefs! Again!

January 7, 2011 by broadkawvalley

Two weeks ago I posted some sports-themed patches, including one for the Kansas City Chiefs. Thanks to reader Mike E., we have three more Chiefs patches shown below. Hopefully the patches will bring the Chiefs some playoff luck, but I think they’ll need more than Boypower to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

Thanks, Mike E.! Go Chiefs!

Another Brownsea Post?

January 4, 2011 by broadkawvalley

Yes! A. Green sent along a few photos of the Brownsea items he earned/received when he participated as a camper and staff member in the early 2000s. Included is the newer version of the belt buckle, a different neckerchief slide, staff neckerchief and participant patch (with yarn pocket loop). Check it out:

Participant belt buckle - the color is a little off in the photo, the actual buckle is silver/pewter - see picture below

Staff neckerchief and standard neckerchief slide

Pocket patch with yarn loop

Big thanks to A. Green for digging up his stuff over Christmas break!

Go Chiefs!

December 28, 2010 by broadkawvalley

In honor of the Kansas City Chiefs winning the AFC West Division Championship, this week’s focus will be on sports themed patches…here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve seen:

Kansas City Chiefs - Touchdown Day for Scouting

I don’t have much background information on these patches and they are usually treated as a novelty…but, if you have any information or other similar patches, please share what you know. Good luck to the Chiefs in the last week of the season and moving in to the playoffs.

Kansas City Royals - 1980s

Kansas City Kings - NBA Basketball (1972-1985)

Kansas City Scouts - NHL Hockey (1974-1976)

1920s Kansas City Camp Guides +

December 21, 2010 by broadkawvalley

This week I’ve got some great images of old Camp Guides used to provide information about the summer camp experience at Osage Scout Camp (1920), Ginger Blue Scout Camp (1921), and Camp Dan Sayre (1923). Additionally, I’ve included a 1922 Annual Report from the Kansas City Council with an image of an early Eagle Scout from the Kansas City area. For more information about early camp experiences for Kansas City Boy Scouts, make sure to check out Andy Dubill’s book titled, “IN THE WOODS.” He’s also written mutiple articles on the subject for the International Scouting Collectors Association Journal.

Thanks Jody T for the images.

Brownsea Follow Up II

December 14, 2010 by broadkawvalley

In a rare double post, here are some more Brownsea items, this time from the late 1980s. Included is another neckerchief, patrol ribbon identification, and a Brownsea Troop photo. Coincidentally, I recognize a few faces in the crowd. Do you?

Thanks to Matt P. for sharing the images.

Brownsea Follow Up I

December 14, 2010 by broadkawvalley

A few weeks ago, I posted some images from Heart of America Council’s Brownsea leadership training program. Since then, I’ve received several more images to share. We have three staff and one participant neckerchiefs from the early 1980s. Interestingly, two of the neckerchiefs from the same year are different colors…are there more colors for each year? As I said before, I think this is the tip of the iceberg for HOAC Brownsea items…I have more images to share later this morning. Here it goes:

1982 Brownsea Staff Neckerchief, brown

1981 Brownsea Staff Neckerchief, orange

1981 Brownsea Staff Neckerchief, blue

1980 Brownsea Participant Neckerchief, orange

Big thanks to Jody T. for the images. As always, if you have images to share, please contact me.

Kaw Council – 1960 National Jamboree

December 7, 2010 by broadkawvalley

As the Centennial year for the Boy Scouts of America winds down, let’s rewind 50 years to BSA Golden Jubilee (50 years) and the 1960 National Jamboree held in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The following images show several neckerchiefs one with a handmade look to it (Troop 52) and four with the same design, but of different colors. I assume these each represent different troops from Kaw Council…but I don’t have information to back that up. I found three of the neckerchiefs (red, yellow, green) together with a “Prairie Village” red and white community strip and a “77” troop numeral patch (not two separate 7s, but one patch with two 7s). Troop 77 may have been one of the jamboree troops from Kaw Council. Also, the Troop 52 neckerchief could be out of Lawrence, Kansas, home to non-Jamboree Troop 52. This could have been made for Scouts that visited the Jamboree from Lawrence or a 2nd neckerchief for one of the four troops…or something else altogether. Have a look:

Kaw Council Troop 52, 1960 National Jamboree Neckerchief

Kaw Council 1960 National Jamboree neckerchief, blue

Kaw Council 1960 National Jamboree neckerchief, yellow

Kaw Council 1960 National Jamboree neckerchief, red

Interestingly, the 1960 Camp Naish summer camp staff neckerchief had a similar design with a few minor modifications: the green cloth is a lighter green and adds the text “Staff” below the 50th anniversary image. See below for a close up comparison.

Kaw Council 1960 National Jamboree neckerchief, green (top) and Camp Naish 1960 Staff neckerchief (bottom)

As always, if you have more images to add, please let me know!

As We Get Closer to Winter are You Thinking of an Island Getaway?

November 30, 2010 by broadkawvalley

Consider Brownsea Island! My brother and I were both members of Troop 22 as part of Heart of America Council’s Brownsea training course. He in the late 1980s and I in the early 1990s. I remember that week learning outdoor and leadership skills fondly. We both took the course at Bartle, but it was also held at Camp Powell and currently it is held at Camp Naish. I found our neckerchiefs and other assorted items the other day…but I am sure what I have pictured below is just the tip of the iceberg for Kansas City area Brownsea items. For example, I know the belt buckle and patches have changed, and I have seen other neckerchiefs not shown below. Have a look…and feel free to send along any other images from your days on Brownsea Island.
