Swap Them Patches!

Posted to: Derby, News by You, Dispatches From The Boy Scout Jamboree:
VIRGINIA — Note: The author is a Boy Scout from Derby serving as a Valley Indy hometown correspondent for the 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree.
Down here at AP Hill Boy Scout patch traders rule the fort.
Everyone here has patch trading stations set up all over the place. Scouts are mostly trading council strips and OA Flaps.
The Paugassett Lodge flaps from our lodge are hot items.
Scouts are trading patch sets from anything from Marvel Comics and Blues Brothers to the coveted (unofficial) Hooters patch. The real crazy patch traders not only trade patches, but also trading special cards that are given to everyone in each sub camp.
Patch trading at the Jamboree is a world of its own. Myself and Colby McLiverty from subcamp 1, Troop 126, set up our stand each night along the road and trade for patches.
The patch trading takes place during the day, but the most intense trading takes place after dinner from 6 to 9.
The patch traders line both sides of the entire street from subcamp 1 to subcamp 16, almost two miles.
