This patch was issued on a hat by national to all medical personnel including physicians, nurses, and assistants.
After the jamboree Dr. Michael Diamond produced two patches. Both were reproductions of the official jamboree patch. The one on the left was produced overseas. Note the blue caduceus in the upper right corner and "Jamboree Medical Staff" instead of "National Scout Jamboree". The one on the right was made by the manufacturer of the offical patch with a yellow caduceus in the upper right corner.
The above patch is not in my collection. All I have is a photo. I don't have any information about it except for what you see which is a standard jamboree patch with "Medical Staff" in red in the upper righthand corner. Please contact me if you have any information and particularly if you have one to trade!
