The purpose of the Virtual Patch Library is to document, in a single forum, the history and memorabilia of the OA Lodges, Boy Scout Councils and Scout Camps that have merged over the years to form the current lodge, council, and camps. The site was created, written, and managed for many years by Scott Kuzma, with a strong emphasis on Sukawit Lodge 2.  During that time, the site enjoyed considerable expansion.  Eventually, for a variety of reasons, Scott left and further development stopped.  Around 2003, we were able to add Scott's pages to the Central New Jersey Website as a separate entity.  Since then, both sets of pages have been merged into a single Website.  Joe Sinniger took on the task for many years and handed it over to the Central New Jersey Council in 2009.

The Council Website started around 1995 as the George Washington Council, then in 1999 expanded to become the Central New Jersey Council Website.  Because of its early beginnings, the Website tends to be more hierarchical, somewhat rambling, and considerably less visual than the Virtual Patch Library. The chapter about the George Washington Council traces its evolution back to when Trenton Troop 1 was organized in 1910.  The chapter about the Thomas A. Edison Council traces its evolution back to when New Brunswick Council was formed in 1916.

Currently, the Library collection has more than 640 entries - patches, flaps, neckerchiefs, odds and ends.
