Each District Subcamp at the Maine Jam ’07 is named after a place in Scouting history to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of Scouting! The districts have each designed a Council Shoulder Strip or CSP for the Maine Jam along with a district gateway to mark this historic event! The five CSP’s will coordinate with the 4 ½ “ pentagon shaped Maine Jam patch to make a large jacket patch or fine collection. Each CSP can be worn as an official CSP on BSA uniforms.
Every weekend camper (youth and adult) attending the Maine Jam ’07 will receive as part of their admission price a center patch and one of their districts CSP.
Day visitors will receive a special edition Maine Jam ’07 patch!
