Who this patch collection log is for

This log is for patch collectors who gather embroidered and woven patches from national parks, scouting, travel, bands, military units, events and clubs. It suits hikers earning trail patches, scouts and former scouts, travelers and collectors who trade patches at events. Patches are small but full of memories, and recording where each one came from, its condition and whether it is sewn on or stored keeps your collection organized and its stories intact.

How to use your patch collection log

Set collection goals, such as a patch from every national park or a complete scouting set. Record each patch on the inventory with design, source, date and condition. Use detail cards for rare or special patches. Keep a want list. Log purchases, sales and trades. Update values for rare patches, plan storage in albums or binders, and plan how to display patches on jackets, bags, blankets or frames on the display page.
