Special Camp Issues
Over the years, there have been a number of anniversary, commemorative, or special camp issues that were not issued for attending camp - but were available for sale or by participating in a special program. As these issues feature the camp - but were not issued specifically for the summer camp program, we are noting them here.
These will span the years from 1995 to the present, and where noted - the year of the issue will be noted.
There is very little information surrounding special issues, and this will be a work in progress.
Bear Paws
Bear Paws have been issued over many years in Buckeye Council. The paw could be purchased, but camp leaders had to earn "toes" for the patch by bringing a percentage of their boys to camp. A leader could fill their paw with toes, although that is pretty unusual.

Other Special Issues
There are a number of other issues, not related to an anniversary or the summer camp program, that simply are issued with the name of the camp or reservation on them. Hutch's Trail is an 11 miles trail that rings Seven Ranges and goes through Camp Calumet, Camp Algonkin, Camp Akela and Turkey Ridge. If known, these are cataloged by issue year.
