Staff Pirate Neckerchiefs

Beginning in 1961, a special fully embroidered patch, known as the "Staff Pirate", was sewn to a black cotton neckerchief.
This design proved so popular that the Emerald Bay staff has used it, with only minimal alterations, continuously
for over a half century, likely making it the longest standing staff neckerchief of any scout camp in the country.
