The Latin Scot 961 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Here's another one; a parent gave me a patch like this today but I can't find anything else like it except on Etsy, which has precious little information about whence it actually comes. Was it a uniform item? Anybody know? Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 644 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Definitely Webelos. Old, since there's no FDL. Perhaps a local council's Webelos Camp patch? What's the size? Link to post Share on other sites

FireStone 387 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Anyone know more about this Firecrafter program? It looks like it's part of a BSA Council, but is if "official" BSA? Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 644 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I believe the above link tells you all you need to know. Crossroads of America Council Webelos camper program. Link to post Share on other sites
prof 58 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yep, Firecrafter was an early camp program like OA or tribe of Mic O Say. The council incorporated OA but didn't get rid of Firecrafter. Great program. Challenging and fun. Lotsa history in the council. Its worth it to take a look at the link and browse around in that site! Prof. Firecrafter, 1980 1 Link to post Share on other sites

IndyScouter 11 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 This is a Webelos Camper award. It is a part of a Boy Scout program run by the Firecrafters within Crossroads of America Council. All council cub scout day camps allow each first year camper to earn the patch Some of the requirements include memorizing the Scout Oath, Law, and Firecrafter slogan, setting up a tent, attend five days of camp, cooking a meal at camp and going on a short hike. The program started in the mid to late 1970's as a way to encourage webelos to transition to Boy Scouts. At Camp Belzer hundreds of boys earn the badge every year. A second year Webelos can earned the Webelos FIrelight Award. Link to post Share on other sites
