== Camp Jack Wright Patch == | |||
In an effort to promote the camp and to establish a camp identity, the Camp Jack Wright committee developed a patch for camp. It is provided at no charge to Scouts and their leaders who complete the following requirements: | |||
# Camp a minimum of one night at camp. | |||
# Do a service project approved by the Camp Jack Wright Committee. | |||
# Hike the Benton-Burridge Nature Trail. | |||
# Have the above three requirements confirmed by Scoutmaster. | |||
The Scoutmaster may obtain the patches at the Tannehill Park store, by presenting the cashier the completed service project form. | |||
