New Jersey Boy Scout Patches

Updated November 5, 2007

Boy Scout Patches are broadly divided into three major categories: Council Issues, Order of the Arrow and Camps.
Each of the 108 Councils (and the National BSA Office) known to have existed in New Jersey are listed below with its corresponding OA Lodge (if any). Eventually at least one page will link to each Council and Lodge. Note only the seven Councils highlighted in Green currently exist.

Please send any additions or corrections to this page to the Webmaster.
