With summer just around the corner, we are designing and producing many new camping and outdoors themed patches for the Boy Scouts of America. For many, Summer evokes images of camp fires, s'mores, hiking in forests, swimming in lakes, spotting wildlife, and star-gazing into the night. We know that many scouting troops look forward to experiencing these outdoor adventures, and receiving an amazing patch to commemorate the experience.
If you are planning your next patch for your troop, take a look at these patches for some design inspiration. Some troops opt for a more illustrative feel for their patches, but we also see a lot of realistic scenery translated into embroidery. Our experienced art team can help you create exactly what you are imagining. We also have several stock designs that you can choose from. At the end of this post, you can see two brand-new camping-themed stock designs created by our in-house Stadri artist team. These patch designs can be customized specifically for your troop, or we can also create completely custom art!
Our first patch is from Marnoc Lodge. This patch features a huge bonfire with interesting light and shadow stitching effects.
Lo La'qum Geela uses some simple, but beautiful, scenery in their patch. The stitching helps create depth and scale in the landscape.
Here are two cool patches from Woapink lodge for NOAC 2018. The dark colored background creates a dramatic effect with the light from the camp fires. The moon creates a stunning focal point in both designs.

Our next patch is from the Connecticut Rivers Council. We love how many different animals were stitched on to this patch! Fur and feather textures usually stitch very well with embroidery.
This patch from Monaken is desert-themed. The colors that were chosen give this patch a bright and colorful look.
We love the graphic style of this Master Camper Award patch from Troop 507. The thick, black outlines and bright solid colors gives this design an appealing look. This design definitely stands out!
Sunsets and silhouettes always make for a really beautiful patch design. The solid black against the strikingly bright background gives this patch a simple, but impactful look.
This colorful patch from Pikes Peak Council has a lot of depth with the many layers in the design.
This simple night camping scene is one of our favorite stock camping patches that we offer. The simple campfire against the dark night sky gives this patch a classic appeal.
This spring camporee patch from the Mohave District features a trail through the wilderness with classic camping patch elements. The surprising addition we see here is that huge treasure chest full of gold!
We love patches with interesting and unique shapes, and this one is no exception. The subtle shading on the rocks around the fire really give this patch shape and dimension.It's a simple, but iconic subject!
Introducing one of our brand new stock patches! This patch features a large moon floating in the night sky, reflecting on to a lake in the mountains. Customize this patch for your troop and make this design your own.
Our second stock camping patch features a mountainous scene with a lone deer silhouette with a hazy summer sky. This patch can be customized specifically for your troop.
