Now we're up to two (2) cities. Not surprising that they are both coastal and that they are large! As I mentioned previously Detroit doesn't come this way and neither does Chicago. Does San Francisco? It might be a possibility. New York has the borroughs strips. I'm pretty sure Boston doesn't as even the red-and-white is hard. I am still thinking there must be an 'out of the way' city that has all seven. You generally wouldn't know that Topeka, KS comes in Sea Scout white and blue until you realized that National Commodore Dr. Menninger was based in Topeka. Robert - Thanks also!

I have them all in my collection. I have only seen two "Texas" white/blue state strips.

I like the Fort Meade strip. Nope - I don't want to count council strips - the hunt is for a community strip that has all seven (7) colors. Could be the same name but from different parts of the country (which makes it hard for Baltimore as I'm not sure there's another one out there - lots of New Baltimores though.)

All seven colors are there, but only if you count both "Baltimore" city strips and "Baltimore Area Council" RWS/BWS/WBS issues. I have a draft page of all the Baltimore strips at: http://www.tegularius.org/patches/striphistory.html which includes the only military base strips I know of from the BAC territory. Yeah.

I'm back to not having ANY city that has all seven colors. Detroit doesn't have them. Battle Creek actually could as there was a major military air base in Battle Creek but I don't know if it hosted an Air Scout program. The search goes on! Roy Dave - thanks for the update.

So "Baltimore" comes in only five varieties. I do not know about Maryland strips in Sea Scout colors; I assume that if any exist they are not from Baltimore. There is no Air Scout "MD."; the Air Scout "Baltimore" was worn without a state strip.
