Camp Kennedy Black Camp Felt
Segregated Scout Camp Asheville North Carolina Daniel Boone Council
It’s from Camp Carl Kennedy, a camp for African-American scouts which was used by Daniel Boone Council in the 40s and 50s. It was held on the French Broad River south of Asheville, North Carolina. The existence of this camp has been confirmed by 2 different professionals who served as the professional director of the camp. This patch actually dates from the 40s. Compare it to the Camp Daniel Boone patches from the same era which had the same design with “DB” on the felt.
This is the only known example of this patch.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
