Corps of Discovery

The idea of the Corps of Discovery is Servant Leadership.  That is, a society of Venturing Leaders, both youth and adult, who take seriously the servant leader concept as taught in Kodiak.  More information about the program can be found here.

The first item used for recognition was a animal tooth that hung on a wire from the right pocket.  Later, a western region Venturing leader asked me to design a pocket flap.  The first flaps were presented to youth who completed a Kodiak training course in 2005 and made a promise to take on a simple service project when he or she got home.  Some of the projects were as complex as helping with Scoutreach camps, Powder Horn, and TLCs, and others were as simple as recruiting some friends to join their Crews.

In addition to recognizing others with the patches below, two certificates have been developed.  You are welcome to use either certificate.  Both certificates are data entry PDF files:

1. Craig Murray's certificate - Use the cursor to select in the area for the name and type the recipients name.  Then tab to two other positions in order to enter the position names of two other people signing the certificate and print.  There are three fields that can be filled in.
2. Bill Wilcox's certificate - Use the cursor to select in the area for the date and type the date.  Then tab to the second field to enter the participant's name.

The Servant Leader (Fort Clatsop) Corps of Discovery flaps are made in two sizes.  One for male uniforms (patch 4 7/8" wide) and one for female uniforms (patch 4 1/4" wide).  Both are $3.00 each.  I still have some of the female pocket size Sacajawea Corps of Discovery flaps and they will be able until the inventory is gone.  Please contact Craig Murray for ordering information and shipping cost.
