BCMSR segment Yel Grn R Grn arc “Broad Creek Mem. Scout Res.”; segment for unknown round or oval patch

The Broad Creek “30 Years” patch was issued in 1979. I had originally assumed it was from 1978, but the claim at the time was that 1979 was the thirtieth year of camping because there was no real “summer camp” in 1949.

The segments used in 1969 were BSA stock issues that continued to be sold and used in other councils through the mid-1970s. Similar segments were also available in blue, yellow, and green, and in some other designs. The ones used at Broad Creek were identified based on the John Wolf Memorial in Reservation Headquarters. Plastic-backed versions of the segments exist, but are from the 1970s and were not used in Baltimore in 1969.
