Axe N Log Gilwell Troop 1 PatchProudly display this Axe N Log patch to show your Wood Badge loyalty. This is a great gift for your patrol at reunions as a Thank You for the great memories. The axe and log totem was conceived by the first Camp Chief, Francis Gidney, in the early 1920s to distinguish Gilwell Park from the Scout Headquarters. Gidney wanted to associate Gilwell Park with the outdoors and Scoutcraft rather than the business or administrative Headquarters offices.
