Region V Arkansas - What Is It???

Here is one of my favorite patches - and least known.  What I do know is that this is a Region V Patch from Arkansas.  How do we know?  Well the Razorback is a dead giveaway from the Westark Area Council.  But there are other Arkansas scouting motifs in this patch.  Foremost is the prominent Cedar Tree which came from Camp Cedar Valley in the old East Arkansas Area Council.  I purchased this patch in Jonesboro, Arkansas near this camp.  The other motif is the old DeSoto Area Council shape of the patch.  Finally is the crossed axe & spade along with the Region V logo on the Cedar Tree.  There is no writing of any kind so one can only guess what this was for - Service work at Camp Cedar Valley during an OA event; an Arkansas Region V Encampment of these Councils (Where is Quapaw??).  So if you have any idea what this is please let me know at campmoreland@gmail.com   Great patch with no history behind it.
