I see a tower of purple/yellow Exo Force pokey things! (!!!)

I see a Toa that I designed! (!!!)

I see cool Star Wars and Piraka posters! (!!!)

I don't understand why the Boyscouts are giving out Yoda badges! (???)

I have the exact same ESB poster framed in my living room! Represent!

Yoda is awesome, because.

 

Framed, the other posters must be.

I see my patch! Yaaay! Oregon Cascade mountains in... in... CF's state! XP

 

As for the Yoda patch, it was the design the council used for their contingent's patch set 9they had Vader patches, too). Out of the thousand-some troops at National Jamborees, the troops make their own patches, and they have free reign on pretty much any design they can think of, bar copyright issues where they need permission. So the patch isn't so much the BSA giving away Yoda patches as much as it is a BSA troop decided to have their patches Star Wars themed.

 

~EW~

There were not any Darth Vader patches from the Marin Council in 2005 AFAIK. They had a green border, blue border, and red border Yoda patches. Yes, they had to get permission, and there is even a "Lucasfilm" sewn-in watermark on the patch (just like there is a MGM watermark on the Stargate patches).

I wasn't there, so IDK for sure, but when I was at World a few troopmates were showing Vader patches alongside the Yoda ones. *shrug*

Nice patches- I'm slightly jealous of your jamboree attendance record (are there three different dates I see?). I've never been able to attend one, but I really want to.

There are only two Jamboree years represented in my framed patches here, 2005 (which I attended) and 2010 (which I visited), but since you brought it up, I'll mention that I also visited the Jamboree in 1997.

 

The other date on there is the 2001 on my Scout Camp Rodney patch (the purple one)--my favorite scout camp.
