For the past several years, the contingent has created Council Shoulder
Strips (CSP's) for contingent participants. In addition to these
patches, we have created "contingent" logo patches for contingent
participants.
One of each of these patches is given to each crewmember on the
contingent as part of their fee.
Additional patches beyond the ones provided to crewmembers are available
for purchase.
The funds earned from the sale of these patches are used to support our
all-scholarship crews that we send to Philmont each year. These
crews are for youth who would not be able to participate in a Philmont
trek without significant financial support to pay the various fees and
charges, transportation, equipment, and clothing needed for a successful
Philmont trek. These crews have been extremely successful for the
past several years so please view the cost of these patches as a
contribution to a very worthwhile endevour.
