I also have a similar item from Camp Pouch, although that one is a rectangle.  Does anyone have simialr items from the other GNYC Camps at that time?

While it can not be seen from the scan, the neckerchief pictured below when unfolded has a camp map silk-screened on it.

If anyone can confirm when this neckerchief was issued, I would appreciate the information.
