Collecting Ten Mile River, one patch at a time
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 [...]
During the 1950′s most if not all of the Camps at Ten Mile River had a staff neckerchief.

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 [...]

After the era of individual Camp Staff neckerchiefs ended in 1959, there were several years where uniform staff neckerchiefs were worn throughout the reservation. In 1960 there was Green and Blue Tartan, in 1961 while the same patch was used bit the Tartan was Gray and Green. The patches show a map of TMR broken [...]

For many years, Ten Mile River Scout Camps has had a distinct Headquarters Camp. Where while there were no campers, the senior reservation staff, administration, support and other reservation-wide functions were run. Like the individual camps, the 1950′s saw the use of Staff neckerchiefs. Here is the 1954 version: This neckerchief is a need of [...]
Like Camp Ihpetonga which I posted about last week, Camp Kunatah was part of the Brooklyn Scout Camps at Ten Mile River Scout Camps. It was located on the Delaware side of the camp and was considered part of the Delaware Section or Division. It eventually closed after the 2007 Summer Camp Season. Here is [...]
Originally Camp Aquehonga was the Staten Island Council Camp. The ‘old’ Aquehonga was on the other side of the lake from ‘modern’ Aquehonga which occupies its current footprint since 1968. Here is a staff neckerchief from 1959 which is currently a need of mine. During this time period, TMR was divided into 3 Sections. Deleware, [...]
