by billmul @ Tuesday, November 11th, 2008. Filed under Ten Mile River - Modern

I’ve seen these over the years, but only recently picked one up. I understand it was an official issue and used at least [...]

It appears that the first version (which I acquired on Alumni Day) ran out and when the patch was reordered, some changes where made. The most obvious replacing the red top [...]

TMR On National Shortlist for Jambo Site

by billmul @ Monday, August 25th, 2008. Filed under Ten Mile River - Modern

In the unfounded rumor and speculation department, I heard the following over this past weekend at the NE-2C conclave. It is not official nor can I verify the accuracy of it. Consider it talk around the Cracker Barrel or campfire. As you may know, The Boy Scouts of America announced today it is expanding its [...]

Discovery – TMR 40th Anniversary Neckerchief

by billmul @ Wednesday, April 16th, 2008. Filed under Ten Mile River - Modern

This hasn’t happened to me in quite a while, at least in more modern (post 1965) TMR issues. 1967 was the 40th Anniversary of TMR. It was also my first year at Camp (Nainque to be precise). I don’t remember this neckerchief, but I wasn’t collecting patches back than and did not even buy a [...]
