Camp Kunatah 1953 Staff Neckerchief

There is also a staff patch issued for this year.

Camp Kunatah 1953 Staff Patch

The staff patch is still a need of mine.

As far as I know, this is the only time there was both a patch and a neckerchief issued by a TMR camp staff. Of course there are issues when a patch was issued and has been seen both on and off a neckerchief; but I am unaware of any other separate Camp Staff patch and neckerchief issue.

Each design features a theme or program element specific to that camp with the Indian Cliffs “chief” as part of the design.

The sixth in the series is from Camp Kunatah.

With the recent news that Kunatah will not reopen in 2008, this may be the last Camp Kunatah issue at least in its current incarnation.

The numbered version is the KU2007X1 and the un-numbered is the KU2007X2

The Greater New York Councils Camping Committee has voted not to operate Camp Kunatah for the summer of 2008.

This decision was largely based on the recommendations of the Ten Mile River Task Force. The Task Force was formed to review all operations at Ten Mile River and develop a plan to streamline operations to offer better facilities and program opportunities for the Scouts of New York City. Quality of program, facilities, capital needs, quality of staff, attendance and overall layout of the reservation were reviewed.

The Greater New York Councils and the Jewish Committee on Scouting are finalizing plans to offer Kosher meals prepared off-site and served in Camp Keowa Dining Hall and Kosher raw food and equipment for patrol cooking at Camp Aquehonga. Dietary needs will be accommodated and religious services will be provided for former Camp Kunatah campers at these sites. The Council stands dedicated to serving all Scouts from New York City with a high quality outdoor program.

This was a very difficult decision to make, but we firmly believe it is the right decision for the Scouts of New York City and for the future of Ten Mile River Scout Reservation.

The Task Force will continue to evaluate all programs, facilities and operations at Ten Mile River. A long-range plan for the redevelopment of the reservation should be drafted by late spring and will be shared to leaders and staff this summer at Ten Mile River.
