Jamboree Patch Trading Trivia:

Patch trading is very popular at the National Boy Scout Jamboree’s. Troops from all over the country bring a unique council patch or patches to trade with other troops. Troops design a special patch for the jamboree.

There are always a few very “Hot” or popular patches that everyone wants. These patches usually relate to something that is big at the time.
