I think I watch too much CSI.

Boasting membership of 5-8 Scouts (at that time). In that small rural town where K-12 school enrollment hovered around 450 (my graduating class boasted 39 students), I could not wait each week to travel the 13 miles to attend Scout meetings...good times! -Ray By the way-

Russ was a member of Troop 60, Copenhagen, NY and is shown in the 1960 staff photo for Camp Portaferry. What is known, he would have been active duirng the time frame the copied patches were issued and would have opportunity to earn them himself. More about Russell Forbes may be viewed through the archive section of our local paper Watertown Daily Times. http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/ I believe these origin/motive for these shirts will remain questionable. -Ray Having researched the history of Camp Portaferry extensively, I concur with the individual who provided the Russell Forbes mention.
