1935 National Jambo Patch Drawing

This drawing is for an authentic 1935 National Jamboree patch, which is a much sought-after collector's item. The 1935 National Jamboree was scheduled to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Unfortunately, this Jamboree was canceled (just weeks before planned) in Washington, D.C. due to a polio epidemic. As a result, the first National Jamboree was rescheduled to 1937. A National Jamboree patch from 1935 is rarely seen in such an excellent shape as the one (shown below) for this drawing. The 1935 National Jamboree patch, along with the one from the 1937 event, are often considered the two most difficult patches to obtain in a National Jamboree set.
