Conclaves in the Carolinas: 1981-1983
Posted in Scouting Blogs and Websites by John E. Pannell on November 17th, 2006 at 4:18 am Pastor McCanless has written a rather interesting post about the state of OA conclaves here in the Carolinas from about 1981 until 1983. He was a brother in Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188 during this time. He writes:
…let us hearken back to those groovy days, of Scouting in the piedmont of NC during the early 1980’s. Feel free to throw in your Asia, J Geils Band Freeze-Frame, or Chicago XVII CD, to help set the mood, as we figure out what was up with all those pink-bordered patches in 560 in ‘83, learn about the “shadow delegations” to the ‘82 Dixie, and what WAS up with that 188/116 Fellowship in the fall of ‘83, anyway…
Folks interested in both the history of both SR-5 and SR-7B might find his remarks especially interesting. The rest of us might appreciate a good story. He has much to say about how lodge 188, 459 and 560 came to be part of SE-3A and what their initial reaction was to this reorganization. Eswau Huppeday brothers will also like his compliments about their innovative patch practices.
