Collecting Ten Mile River, one patch at a time
Here is an undated Stratton Mountain Scout Reservation patch. It is a 4″round silkscreened on a canvas like material. The design of the burro or donkey became standard on many of their patches. Since Fort Orange Council merged in 1963 to become Fort Orange-Uncle Sam Council, this patch must be from 1962 or earlier. Can [...]
In addition to the 2013 Camp Ranachqua pocket patch I wrote about a few days ago, there is also a jacket patch issued for Camp Ranachqua for the 2013 season. There were outpost jacket patches in the early 1970′s and the TMR Museum issued one several years ago, but I believe that this is the [...]
The 2013 issues for Ten Mile River Scout Camp have begun with a pocket patch for Camp Ranachqua. The design pays homage to Beech Mountain Scout Camp originally from Orange Sullivan Council. The background is tan, rather than the white background found on the Beech Mountain Scout Camp patches of the same design. 1919 [...]
I had previously written about a Green Bordered 1989 Camp Bob Hardin Patch which used the iconic Indian Cliffs image for its pocket patch. Here is another 1989 Camp Bob Hardin patch, this one had a Gold Mylar border. Can anyone confirm the purpose of the Gold Mylar Border? This design was used by the [...]

I had previously written about an undated Camp Ranachqua Staff Patch. Here is the same design used on a regular Camp Patch. Based on the Council name and design, I would think this is from the early 1990′s. Can anyone confirm that date for this patch? 1919 photo Boy Scouts cooking over open fire at [...]
Fort Orange Council which merged in 1963 to become Fort Orange-Uncle Sam Council. was the owner of Stratton Mountain Scout Reservation. This is a dated patch from 1958. It did not use the image of a donkey or burro which appeared on many of their patches. Does anyone have other images from pre-1960 Stratton Mountain [...]
The logo in the neckerchief pictured below is the one used for Camp Ihpetonga which was one of the Brooklyn Scout Camps at Ten Mile River. Trying to find out information about this 60 year old neckerchief. There are several possibilities here. There was a Troop and Post 53 at Saint Ephrem’s Church in Brooklyn [...]
Here is an example of a Staff neckerchief from a time when scouts camped at Ten Mile River by borough. As you might imagine, Camp Manhattan was for scouts from that borough. The area which comprised Camp Manhattan was later divided into Camp Rondack and Camp Keowa. This Staff neckerchief is from 1951. Anyone have [...]
