I need a lot more information on camporee patches used before 1943 and between 1950 and the start of the BAC Camper segments (approximately 1955). I do not know the distinction in use between 1944 “Camporee” and “Jamboree” dated patches and the undated blue and gray camporee patch also used that year.

Through 1978, council-issued or council-selected “Camporee” patches or segments were used for both council-wide events and for annual district camporees. (At times, different districts used slightly different patches with the same national stock design; I know there were some instances in which Harford District had a patch that differed from the BAC Camporee patch.)

On occasion, Baltimore has been the host of a five-state Camporee for blind Scouts. There were patches as listed above in 1967, 1973, and in 1979; there may have been other years as well.

In 1979, Baltimore Area Council started to use the term “Camporall” for council-wide camporee events. Also, after 1978, the council no longer issued standard patches for district camporees. Camporalls have been held in 1979, 1985, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2007.
