The earliest known Baltimore Area Council Exposition was in 1958; there was a Scout-O-Rama at Memorial Stadium in 1962, followed by a number of Loch Raven District Scout-O-Rama events in the late 1960s. The regularly scheduled Baltimore Area Council Scout Shows started in 1969; the event was marked with a plastic neckerchief slide that was a puzzle of a clown. The first patch was issued for the 1970 Scout-O-Sphere.

The 1972 Scout-O-Sphere was in October, and the 1974 Scout-O-Sphere was in May; I suspect that there was no show in 1973 because of the transition from the fall to the spring.

There was a strange run from 1978 through 1987 during which the patch was never the same shape twice.
