The patch is in the shape of a raft for the rafting participants. The base of the raft is a compass, for the Orienteering and Geocaching participants. The Buffalo on the top of the patch is in dedication of Totanka (Dave Brown) who taught many of our boys Indian dancing and crafts during Cub Resident and Day camp.
Since we were staffing the event we had the best location to camp for the weekend!
Notice the papers on orange streamers, that is the Orienteering results posted and in order so participants can see how they did.
