Camp Barton Patches
|
The Barton “B” award was originated by Sam Bogan, the first
director of Camp Barton, when Camp Barton was still located at
Taughannock Point, where the State Park is today. At that time
it was called “the Camp Letters”, and the original “B”
was just that - a letter “B” cut out of blue felt. |
In 1925, two years before Camp Barton moved to Frontenac,
first-year campers earned a basic “B” in gold felt, as well
as a blue and gold ribbon, for earning 75 points in subjects
involving nature, camp improvement, handicraft, scoutcraft and
camp spirit. Second year campers earning 100 points were awarded
a blue “B”. Third year campers specializing in some subject
such as nature or craftsmanship earned a gold-and-blue “B”. |

This variation on the "B" was an error on the part of
the patch company - the patch is oval instead of round. They
were not reordered once the batch ran out. |
