Live Blogging the Jamboree – VIP patch
Collector Doug Schwab came by the booth. He is a Board member, and was a VIP guest, from Potomac Council. He showed me the patch they got at the VIP visitor’s center. Each council could designate something like three VIP guests to the Jamboree. At 300 councils that would be about 1,000 patches plus whatever else was passed out. Later in the day I was at the Eagle Lodge TOR and a Scouter who was wearing the patch said he was also able to get one for his wife and daughter. This is a nice, but not rare, patch. I’m seeing ridiculous prices on eBay now for this item. Be patient. It will be found more cheaply later, IMHO.
