2005 BSA National Scout Jamboree - Chaos Crusader Council - Runes Quest - Patch.
This is another piece of RuneScape history that I'm proud to preserve, apparently this was made by a group of boy scouts in 2005? I didn't look into this too much but it has a few clear RuneScape references. I've taken a few pictures of this which will be included somewhere in my RuneScape archives. Something of note is that I found multiple of these, I am not sure if they are a reproduction or not, I currently own two with more on the way.
Here's a lower resolution picture of the patch.
The references I noticed are...
1. A reference to amulets, more specifically an amulet of power.
2. The early RS2 looking dragon models that were in the game from March 29th 2004 - August 29th 2006.
3. A dragon battleaxe.
4. Login screen pillars and entrance without the braziers.
5. The sword kind of looks like the iconic one from the early RuneScape logo.
Other things I noticed...
The characters and their colors sort of remind me of RS1, this may or may not be an intentional reference. The yellow or peach colored square shield is similar to how the dragon sq shield looked like in the RS2 beta but only in regards to the color, the one in the patch shows a cross instead of a dragon and a red trim instead of the brown trim, I just thought this was a fun detail to point out, I'm not saying this is an intentional reference from whoever made this patch. Speaking of whoever made this patch in 2005, if you ever read this, you've done an excellent job on it, it's genuinely beautiful and it invokes a lot of nostalgia, you made a work of fan art that will eternally be a part of the history of RuneScape.
