    I love my camp hoody - we're now encouraging ours to get and wear them.
    I went hoody rather than blanket as I'm normally getting the fire going. But it's still covered in badges

    My Cubs love their camp blankets, we've had a couple of sewing nights too, they quite enjoy sewing their badges on, it makes them extra proud.

    Thank you very much !! I've been searching for a hooded poncho for ages.

    A badge blanket / bag / collection is a collection of memories and can be a timeline of your scouting journey ❤

    We encourage our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to start blankets, but if they are not wool they may not be suitable around campfires.
    I also have a bag covered in pin on badges.

    I do not have a camp blanket but I am looking for what to do with a pile of patches from events. Has anyone bought a light weight weight jacket to keep them dry at rainy campouts and put badges on that?

    I am remakeing my camp blanket as it got "lost" on a camp in my late teens. As result I lost most of my Guides and Scout badges I achieved or collected. Still upset about it to this day.

    I do mine as a rucksack so instead of a camp blanket they go on my camp rucksack . Then im ordering the pendent flags for my room to put old badges on.

    Just about to do a camp Craft day, starting camp blankets, making a cutlery bag and a tea towel, I'm a beaver leader so try to get it in to a camp once a year, but it's a fairly 121 activity teaching someone to sew.
