This patch was awarded to Boy Scouts who went on one of the canoe trips.  This patch is at least 40 years old, is unused and very clean.  This is a very nice piece of history that is no longer available.

History:

Northern Wisconsin National Canoe Base was opened in 1940. Canoe trips launched from the base utilized hundreds of different lakes and rivers and about 300 campsites. About half of these sites were on public lands; the others were on private lands under special arrangements, which typically included maintenance work by the Scouts.  The base celebrated its 40th anniversary in 1980 and enjoyed its most popular years in 1980-81, but usage declined rapidly and the permanent base was closed in 1983.
