I need a lot more information on camporee patches used before 1943 and between 1950 and the start of the BAC Camper segments (approximately 1955). I do not know the distinction in use between 1944 “Camporee” and “Jamboree” dated patches and the undated blue and gray camporee patch also used that year.

Through 1978, council-issued or council-selected “Camporee” patches or segments were used for both council-wide events and for annual district camporees. (At times, different districts used slightly different patches with the same national stock design; I know there were some instances in which Harford District had a patch that differed from the BAC Camporee patch. In 1968, both dated and undated versions of the patch were distributed.)
On occasion, Baltimore has been the host of a five-state Camporee for blind Scouts. There were patches as listed above in 1967, 1973, and in 1979, and an undated patch that is probably from earlier in the 1960s. There may have been other years as well; the patches shown are the ones I know about.

In 1979, Baltimore Area Council started to use the term “Camporall” for council-wide camporee events. Also, after 1978, the council no longer issued standard patches for district camporees. Camporalls have been held in 1979, 1985, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2007, and a BSA Centennial Camporall will be held at Fort McHenry in October 2010.
