THE SENECA WATERWAYS 2023 NATIONAL JAMBOREE PATCH SET

The Seneca Waterways 2023 National Jamboree Contingent patch set was developed in partnership with the Strong National Museum of Play to commemorate their World Video Game Hall of Fame.

The colorful 12-piece patch set consists of 9 Jamboree Council shoulder patches and an Order of the Arrow Pocket patch set that surround the center video game console shaped patch. Each patch in the set represents a video game that is inducted in the World video Game Hall of fame making this set one that connects with Scouts and Scouters of all ages. The Strong National Museum of Play is located in Monroe County (Rochester Area), New York which is one of the five counties that make up Seneca Waterways Council.

JSP: The Strong National Museum of Play - The top jamboree council shoulder patch depicts the Strong Museum of Play itself. The Strong Museum of play is one of the largest history museums in the United States. Founded in 1968 by Margaret Woodberry Strong, the Strong houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of materials related to play. This patch includes the iconic set of colorful boxes that greet visitors as they arrive at the Strong as well as the unique architecture of the Butterfly Garden and parking garage.

The other 8 over-sized jamboree council shoulder patches each represent a character or style of one of the video games that have been inducted into the World Video game hall of fame placed in and adventure zone at the Summit Bechtel. These include the following:

JSP: The Rocks and Centipede (2020) – Climbing at the mushroom ridden Rocks is not a Scout, but a giant centipede. Can you get to the top before the centipede gets you or before time runs out? Give it a try!

JSP: The Barrels and Space Invaders (2016) – Is it an alien invasion at the Barrels? Don’t worry, the Scout with the shotgun depicted on this patch is shooting down those colorful invaders. This patch depicts a vintage ‘green-screen’ style video game with space aliens descending on the Summit Bechtel at The Barrels.

Center Patch: Arcade Video Game Console and Pont (2015) -  The center patch 5” wide by 10” tall center patch represents a traditional arcade video game console complete with screen, joy sticks and buttons to fire.
