Here is the resulting embroidered patch from my sketch for the Scouts BSA Kennebec Valley District 2020 Klondike Derby held at Camp Bomazeen as the kick-off event for the camp's 75th Anniversary. It would turn-out to be the only face-to-face scouting event for the year for the district and the camp's 75th Anniversary celebration thanks to the Pandemic. Only 100 of these were produced due to some disagreements with the cash-strapped council leadership. This resulted in too few being produced for those who attended and the volunteers who ran the event.
(soapbox) Idiot new leadership in the Council couldn't do math. "You only have 78 registrations. You don't need 200 patches." Well, yes we do 'cause it is tradition to give a patch to each volunteer in thanks for giving us their time to make the event happen AND we always have people wanting to buy an extra patch at $4 each. You're going to spend $2.25 per patch to order 100. If you order 200 you get them for $1 each. IE for less money you get twice as many patches and we'll be able to sell-off most of the extras and you'll make a small PROFIT. Instead of listening to this long-time scout, they still spent more money for less patches and upset a lot of volunteers. (/soapbox)
