[philmont] 2007 Philmont Shoulder Patches

In our council, we issue the special CSP's very carefully, too. In fact, for this year's Philmont trek, we had an adult lobby very adamantly for a special Philmont CSP. It got shot down.
   
  I believe the main reason for it is that a special CSP every year takes away the "special-ness" of the patch. For something unique, the crews get a contingent t-shirt that can be worn with pride anytime they like.
   
  On the flip side, our council is taking it's first-ever council contingent crews to Northern Tier this summer (Ely). Many units from the council have gone to NT before, but this is the first council-organized trip. As a reward to the crews, each member will receive one (and only one) special Bay-Lakes Council / Northern Tier CSP to wear on their uniform. I'm pretty excited about it because it's a sharp patch and it says "Inaugural Contingent" on it.
   
  There will be no special CSP next year or beyond. It's once and done.

          We have 3 crews going as a council contingent. When the subject was broached with our SE at the last contingent leaders meeting, he was adamantly against having a special issue PSP (Philmont Shoulder Patch.) I was a little disappointed especially since it's a council contingent but there didn't seem to be much other support amongst the leaders from our council so I didn't push it. Oh well, it just means I don't have to sew on a new patch for this trip!
   
  How do the other council contingents weigh in on contingent crew CSP's??

  The Denver Area Council has issued a pretty spiffy shoulder patch for our
council contingent to wear this year. I know that some other Council's
have done the same. I would be interested in trading my 2007 DAC Philmont
shoulder patch for OTHER council Philmont shoulder patches, 1 for 1. Come
on, let's trade <g>! YIS. Mike Conkey ('76, '02, '04, and '07).
