William Graff is serving as temporary chairman of the group. The Brownsville Historical Society will again open Nemacolin s Castle this summer for visitors, from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

It is organized by the type of Woven: Squares and Rectangles, Rounds, Odd Shapes and Generics. The first three groups have identifying wording on the woven patch that associates each with a Jamboree, Council, District and or Camp. The last group (Generics), has no distinct marking or lettering to denote affiliation with any Jamboree, Council, District, or Camp. Each category is listed alphabetically. Alpha order has been determined by reading the first word or abbreviation to appear in the upper left hand corner of the patch, and following the direction of the lettering from either left-to-right, or top-to-bottom. Additional information including pictures of listed items can be found on the following website: http://www.bsawovenimages.com/catalog/.
