The Patch Page History
Our group was formed after a Royal Rangers Event impacted one young man. After attending the 50th Anniversary Camporama in 2012 and working at the National FCF Museum, Wesley Church's love for patch collecting was sparked!
He left the Camporama event with what he thought was the complete patch set. Wondering what other sets he could acquire, he thought, "How do I connect with other Royal Rangers interested in patch collecting?" Thus, he created the RR/FCF Patch Collectors Facebook Group, nicknamed "The Patch Page."
What started small with just a few friends soon grew as people around the country—and later the world—became involved. On the group's 10th Anniversary, we now have over 2000 members representing 50 countries.
"I am so proud of everyone’s involvement, and I look forward to many more years of collecting and fellowship!"
