 This isn't a council patch, as such. It refers to Area 3 of the Northeast Region, which happens to be the area in which the Baden-Powell Council is located. This sort of strip would have been worn by Scouters in Woodbadge courses, where ordinary troop numerals would have been located to the right of this strip to complete the Woodbadge course number, which is in the form of region-area-sequential course number. For example, the Woodbadge course I took in 1984 was numbered NE-II-45. |
Back to the Virtual Patch Collection main page
Lots of Scouts and Scouters collect patches - your Webmaster is no exception. So, I've put up a Virtual Patch Collection for the district. It's by no means exhaustive, but it's what I've got. If you felt like contributing pictures of some patches we don't yet have in the collection, please e-mail them to Mike Brown at wb2jwd@gmail.com - the scans should be between 450-600 pixels in width and height (no multi-megabyte scans, please, they crash my e-mail program) and in JPG or PNG format if possible. Of course, if you wanted to give me the actual patches, I won't insult you by refusing...
