mrkstvns 486 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Does anybody have an El Rancho Cima Death March patch they'd be willing to sell? I've got a scout in my unit who earned the patch by doing successive 5-mile, 10-mile, and 15-mile hikes, but unfortunately, he lost the patch. He's a good kid who was immensely proud of being able to accomplish it because he was only 11 when he went to El Rancho Cima. That patch meant a lot more to him than any merit badge or rank insignia he'd earned. I'd like to surprise him (and his parents) with a replacement. It's kind of hard to do that though now that the camp has closed and been sold off to a non-BSA organization. Link to post Share on other sites
Saltface 165 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 You might check eBay every now and then. There are a few death march patches on there, but not that exact one right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Chisos 118 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Oh man! I don't have one, but I had one once and now it's lost! I seem to recall mine having red lettering. Cima was my favorite summer camp as a kid. (As an aside, has the sale of Cima gone though? I knew it was on the market. I had a "gentlemen's agreement" with a few of my old troop mates that if one of us won one of those huge Powerball jackpots we'd buy the place!) Link to post Share on other sites
