Camp Kernochan 1972 Founders Day Patch

1972 was the 45th Anniversary of Ten Mile Rive Scout Camps. Atlantic District in Brooklyn had chosen Camp Kernochan as the site of its district camp. I was SPL of Troop 296 at the time and John Romanovich was Camp Director. As part of the Anniversary Program, John Ramonovich held a Founders Day celebration on the parade grounds while Atlantic District was in camp. A patch was issued for the event. This was one of the few Camp patches issued by an individual Camp as most were issued at the reservation level. It wasn’t until 1975 when patches were regularly issued with the individual camp names.
