Lodge 70: Unlisted Saura Chapter Pieces
Unlike the supposed Executive Committee flap that was an April Fool’s Day joke, sometimes a patch does manage to escape Blue Book listing for a decade even in a highly collected lodge.
Two previously unlisted event pieces from Saura Chapter, in Tsoiotsi Tsogalii lodge, came to light at the Wahissa Trade-o-ree this past December. They’re nothing particularly exotic, just two event items that should be included in this chapter’s listings that have been ignored… until now.
Thanks to Johnny Somers for the scans.
I guess these were excluded from Blue Book since they were also used as district camporee patches, even though they were issued by the chapter that ran this event.
One was a patch the chapter gave to all attendees at the camporee, whether or not they were OA brothers. The second staff patch, was issued only to those OA brothers who staffed the event.
Blue Book listing data for these pieces should be:
| Chapter | Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saura | eR1997-1? | RED | R | WHT | BLK | M/C | BLK/YEL tenderfoot badge; 1997 Cherokee District Fall Camporee |
| Saura | eR1997-2? | RED | R | WHT | BLK | M/C | BLK/YEL tenderfoot badge; 1997 Cherokee District Fall Camporee Staff |
