During the early 1970’s an older boy program at Comer Scout Reservation was available for Life and Eagle Scouts to participate in. Known as the Wild River Expedition, this program was geared toward whitewater adventure and outpost camping. Challenging both physically and mentally this program was a resounding success with older boys lining up to participate in the program. These treks were led by Bryan Winslow and Jeff Wells, Winslow a Military Medic was on loan from Fort McClellan during the summers to lead these expeditions.
Pictured above are the two patches that were issued for the expeditions. To this day they remain as two of the most difficult Comer patches to acquire.
I have one of the circular wild river patches. What is it worth? I used to have a triangular patch as well but let a Scout have it several years ago.
