The Boy Scouts of America has several high adventure bases to allow older Scouts and adults to do more than "the usual camping". This includes the Northern Tier base which allows for canoeing and the Florida SeaBase where individuals can learn boating and Scuba. The most popular is probably Philmont which has been part of the BSA for decades and is a place where one can go backpacking, rapelling, burro riding, and learn many outdoor skills. In the high adventure realm, I am only aware of medical staff patches from Philmont.
This Philmont medical pocket patch and jacket patch were made in 2006.
Many of the medical staff members at Philmont are faculty and residents from the University of Kansas School of Medicine. This patch was created in 2008 to commemorate this relationship. I would like to acquire this patch.
This patch is very similar to the patch that Raleigh General Hospital put out for the 2013 and 2017 National Jamborees. The Summit is considered a high adventure base. For Scouts who were transported to the RGH in 2014, they received this patch.
This patch was created by David Rainey, MD, to present to medical volunteers at the Summit. Dr. Rainey lives very close to the Summit and volunteers many weeks, and he created this patch to thank others for volunteering.
This was created by Brad Epstein, MD. Brad has worked medical staff at many national events. He made this patch for when he worked at the Summit in 2018 for VenturingFest.
Even though this was issued during the year of the World Jamboree, this is not a World Jamboree issue. This was for medical staff who worked at the Summit during weeks that did not coincide with the jamboree.
The above patch is not technically a Scouting patch. This is the patch worn on the uniforms of the EMS personnel who have responsibility for the Summit.
This armband is not truly a high adventure piece, but I am not certain where to put it on the website. Nobody is entirely certain about the history of this. It is not believed to be a national committee piece. It is thought to have be from Philadelphia.
This is the same armband as the one above, but it has Buffalo Area Council overstitched on top. I still do not know where the original one is from, but I am reasonably certain that this one is from Buffalo, NY.
This armband is from the Heart of Texas Council Health & Safety Committee. I do not know if there is an armband issued where there are no spelling errors.
A medical patch of sorts issued by the Far East Council.
