If you do not want to sew your own patches (currently $3 per patch as of November 2023), and you plan to be camping with us for at least 2-3 seasons, then a Patch Card (if available) may be a good investment.

Patches:
​
Patches are earned both formally and informally and are given out by Club Leadership at each campout to active participants. A number of specific patches may be earned over time by showing spirit and knowledge, as well as participating in activities and representing the Six Aims.
