Boy Scout Patch Collection - Council Shoulder Patches

Attakapas Council 208

Attakapas (pronounced "uh-TACK-uh-paw) Council is based in Alexandria, Louisiana, and was the home of my first Boy Scout Troop (Troop 24 of Saint Timothy's Episcopal Church, sadly, now defunct). They recently celebrated their 75th Anniversary. For more information about Attakapas Council, check out their excellent web site. The Order of the Arrow Lodge for Attakapas Council is Ouxouiga Lodge 264.

Below is a list of Attakapas Council CSP's which I have in my collection. You will need to use a browser that supports tables to view it (ie, Netscape Navigator). To view the patch pictures click on the links in the "Issue" column. Note that I have attempted to preserve image quality by saving the images with 256 colors rather than 16. That means the image files are each about 40-50k in size and make take a few moments to load if you are accessing this page via modem.

Items on this page are listed by their assigned issue number according to:

• An Aid to Collecting Selected Council Shoulder Patches with Valuation Guide, 1996 Edition, by Franck, Hook, Ellis, and Jones.
• Arapaho I, A History of Council, Jamboree, and National Bases Insignia, 2nd edition, by Albertus Hoogeveen (used for reference, not catalog numbers)

In the event there is no listing for the issue in these references, a notation enclosed in parentheses will indicate the issue number used by periodicals like Scouting Collectors' Quarterly.

If you have questions about any listing please feel free to send me email at spanky@austin.rr.com. If you have any items which I do not have in my collection that you are willing to sell or trade, please let me know!
