This was the first health and safety rectangle. It was developed for the National Health and Safety Committee by director Jim Langridge but some were also distributed to health and safety as well as medical staff. There is no year listed, but the "H+S" are in red in contrast to all future years.
These were the patches created by Chief Medical Offficer Dr. Hal Yocum. They are similar to the standard jamboree patch. The left one was given to all members of Health and Safety staff. The one on the right with the medical staff was given to physicians.
This is a jacket patch of the physician variety shown above.
These jamboree council strips were created by Dr. Michael Diamond. They are similar to the ones that he did in 1985. This time he did six border colors of each. I believe the different colors corresponded to the different regions, but I am not certain which region went with which color.
This pair of patches were created by Marshall Hollis, PharmD. They are the pocket patch and jacket patch, respectively.
Ed Pagenkopp created this "Health and Safety Staff" JSP.
The above round patch was created by Dan Napoliello, RN, and may have been used by the Western Region.
Three round patches. The Latin roughly translates to "I care for all." It is not known who created these. I do not know what the different border colors represent, but the turquoise one is relatively common; the other two appear to be quite rare.
"I Survived Jamboree Health Service" created by Dr. Tom Jones, with two different border colors.
Two different sets of epaulets created by different parts of the medical staff.
These are the pins that were created for the 1989 National Jamboree. The left was produced by Dr. Ed Rowan, and the right one was produced by Dr. Michael Diamond.
