Campfire blanket
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patch poncho
The camp blanket is a significant piece of memorabilia for many Scouts around the world. Scouts sew badges onto the blanket to represent all their achievements and events competed in, and out of Scouting. The layout of badges on a camp blanket has no guidelines. They can be randomly scattered, or organized in any way.
History
The first use of the camp blanket is unknown, but it can be traced back to Native Americans, who wore them as ponchos around their camp fires.[1]
