Patches from Nassau County Council/Theodore Roosevelt Council
Page 5 - Shows and Events
Cavalcade - the Cavalcades were an exhibition of Scouting skills - and a big source of income for the Council. They were held on a bi-annual basis back when I was involved. They were massive events - more than 250 troops participated in the 1965 Cavalcade, for example. The usual site was the now-defunct Roosevelt Raceway. This canvas patch was given out by Troop 76 at the 1965 Cavalcade. It also exists with reddish printing. Miscellaneous shows - Short-lived shows of different types. I believe this may have been a predecessor to the Cavalcades. Undated - 1970s Undated WANTED 1975 Also from 1975. A successor to the Cavalcades. Mall Show 1979 WANTED Scout Expo 2005 Pow Wows - these meetings of the Adult Volunteers from the Unit and District levels are for the purpose of developing the Annual Program.
