TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Oh yes, an SPL accused a patrol of being such bad cooks that they could "burn water." Burnt Water Patrol Link to post Share on other sites
DuctTape 1230 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If that was my patrol (~1985-1987) SCCC, we had a UPC barcode drawn with a sharpie on the blank batch. Flag was also plain white with a UPC barcode drawn on. No barcode on this patrol flag or badge. Very cool that multiple patrols came up with a similar idea drawing from their current realities. I wonder how many generic patrols there were those years. Probably quite a few. I also recall a psychedilic firs; taken from the band of the same name. And another patrol called the bionic toads.

TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 We had a "Duck Tape Patrol" (a local brand of duct tape), complete with a rubber ducky taped to the very top of the flag staff, but duct tape is so useful I didn't recall it as "weird." "WAHKK WAHKK !" Link to post Share on other sites

TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 HEY! What's weird about Narwhals? Just because they're marine mammals? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
revdmv 24 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well, we've had the Biohazard, and the Flaming Squirrels. Along with the Pokemon Patrol, The Regular Patrol (Regular Show inspired). Usually the NSP names morph three or four times prior to settling into one that that works or them. Link to post Share on other sites
Oldscout448 697 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Remembered another odd one from long ago The Screaming Yellow Zonkers! Their patrol patch was the Rolling Stones Logo but they never would explain why to anyone who was not in the patrol Link to post Share on other sites
5yearscouter 52 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Cannibal patrol. Patrol yell was chanting forks and spoons over and over with an ending about humans being the other white meat. Currently we have the Blue moon patrol, which is the collection of the oldest guys in high school, most are eagles already. Not named after the beer, instead named because they are the guys that joke about all of them showing up to the troop meetings once in a blue moon. they were going to be something about being the back up patrol cause they are the back up plan to always make things happen if any of the green bars don't show to a meeting or outing. not always so politically correct, the border patrol. pink kitty patrol bronies patrol Link to post Share on other sites
cchoat 62 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If that was my patrol (~1985-1987) SCCC, we had a UPC barcode drawn with a sharpie on the blank batch. Flag was also plain white with a UPC barcode drawn on. Had a "Generic patrol" in the troop two years ago. They got creative. Their patrol flag was a white flag with the words "Insert Design here" in the center. Their motto was "Insert motto here" and they used a blank patrol patch 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ankylus 52 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The most creative patrol name I have encountered was not so much a patrol name as the patrol yell it engendered. We had a Ninja patrol, whose patrol yell was to stand around mutely because, you know, a Ninja is silent. Link to post Share on other sites
