Before moving to the Summit Jamboree units camped by Region in “regional” subcamps. In 2013 and 2017 units were all over the map. Units camped in subcamps named after famous National and State Parks. The subcamp patches don’t seem to have been worn on the Scout uniform as much as in the past.
Contingent Patches

JSP’s were everywhere. A few had something to do with Council identification. Many have whimsical themes that seem to have been designed for trading. Many JSP’s were part of multi-piece sets. Jamboree contingent issues had proliferated to the point that ISCA quit trying to catalog them.

Multi piece sets were popular. I’m showing only a small sampling. They were usually developed as fund raisers for the contingent. The set was sold to contingent members, usually at a discount, or sometimes given free and sold to the public for a higher price. Most were whimsical often reflecting pop culture or cartoon themes. If anyone has developed a checklist I’ll be happy to link to it. It’s reported that there were over 2000 pieces, so many that I believe most people have decided they are uncollectible.
