Hyack Camp Badges

During the Hyack Festival, 12th New Westminster hosts Hyack Camp in Queens Park. This was established in 1988.

One of highlights is firing rifles at the Sapperton Fish and Game Club rifle range under the Arenex in Queens Park. This is represented in the 1999 “target” badge. The other highlight is the giant campfire in the baseball field which is represented in the 2003 badge. Groups from the lower mainland, interior BC, and Washington attend.

1996 (In the shape of a playing card with the A being a structure lashed together with square lashing. Playing cards are used by the members of the The Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery to smooth out and cover the black powder on the face of the anvil when preparing it for each of the 21 shots of the Royal Salute, a tradition it has done since the late 1800s.)	1997	1998	1999
2000 (Camping in the City.)	2001 (Heritage houses in Queens Park where the Camp is located.)	2002 (Showing the anvils that are part of the Hyack Festival.)	2003 (Campfire in the Queens Park. The crest is in the shape of the 12th New Westminster crest, the red flame spells out Hyack, the logs spell out NW, the coals spell out “ew” and “est” to go with the N&W of the logs, the rocks spell out the year 203, and the orange flame and the orange beads are in the shape of the royal City Crown as the Group crest.)

The stones are the “gone home” symbol, representing the end of the Districts when they changed to Councils.)	2005 (The newly formed Coho Area was supposed to run the camp this year, but didn't. The new Coho Area badge had just been adopted so a badge that looks like native design of a Coho Salmon was designed.)	2006 (An off-leash dog park had been opened in the park where the Scouts normally camped, forcing them to move to the southwest corner of the park near the ballfield.)	2007 (This is a very large badge representing the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in Canada.)
