Rare Vintage Camp Britton Ouachita Area Council BSA Patch Mint

Description

In the days of segregation, five of the seven Louisiana councils maintained a separate summer camp for Negro scouts and the other two ran a special session at the regular council camp in order that black scouts would not be denied a camping program. In the period 1957-1967, each of the "Negro Scout Camps" were closed and the regular councils camps were integrated. Negro camps in Louisiana were: Camp Pioneer (Norwela Council), Camp Britton (Ouachita Valley Council), Camp Chenier (Evangeline Area Council), Indian Village Scout Camp (New Orleans Area Council), and Camp Carver (Istrouma Area Council)
This is a rare vintage collectible Boy Scouts of America patch from Camp Britton in Ouachita Area Council. The patch is in mint condition and would be a great addition to any Boy Scouts or historical memorabilia collection. It features the organization's name and the council's name, along with a colorful design that represents the camp. This unit of sale is a single patch, perfect for those who collect badges and patches. This item is a must-have for any serious collector or Boy Scout enthusiast.
