The Blizzard of 1993
1993 – Contributed by Evan Ellwanger
Scouts who camped at Horseshoe in January 1993 were treated to an unfortunate event – a blizzard! They were trapped at Schramm Lodge for several days and eventually freed by the National Guard. To commemorate such an event, this patch was made and presented to the units who had the misfortunate of camping at Camp Horseshoe that weekend. As you can see from the patch, the Scouts had to keep the fires blazing in the fireplace of Schramm to stay warm.
