I’ve added a new gallery – this time for Heart of America Council JSPs. As you can see, I’m missing a couple of images (1997 National Jamboree – red border and 2001 National Jamboree gold mylar border). If you have these patches, please send a scan! Also, if anyone has the troop numbers to go along with the various border colors, or if you have any other items to add please contact me.

I took my son to McDonald’s for lunch over the weekend and while we were there, I spotted a Scouter and his son wearing their Class A uniforms. What caught my eye was the Scouter’s gold bordered 1985 National Jamboree CSP from Heart of America Council. I stopped to talk to them and it turns out that they had just come from working on his son’s Eagle Scout project. We chatted about the Jamboree and Camp Naish (they both had multiple camper year segments on their shirts) and I wished them well. Our meeting inspired me to share the following images of the 1985 Heart of America Council CSPs. It is my understanding that the gold border version was for adult leaders, the silver border was for youth leaders and the red border was for participants/traders. Interestingly, these are the first JSPs issued by Heart of America Council. The council started in 1975, so they missed out on the 1977 and 1981 Jamborees. Fortunately, they came up with these three for the Boy Scouts’ Jubilee celebration:
Gold Border 1985 Heart of America Council JSP
Silver Border 1985 Heart of America Council JSP
Red Border 1985 Heart of America Council JSP
As with many of the local Jamborees, I am not sure if there were any other items issued (neckerchiefs, other patches, etc…). If you have any other items from the 85 Jamboree, please send me an image.
