Bob Black recently sent me images of the 2007 activity patches from Nakona 150. The intention of the lodge was for three of the patches to bear the words Brotherhood, Cheerfulness and Service. The other three were to bear Lenape words that should be familiar to Order of the Arrow brothers. However, somewhere along the way someone made two rather embarrassing mistakes.

Bob didn’t know who was responsible for the creative spelling but believed it to be someone within the lodge.   I humbly suggest next time a lodge wishes to use these words on their patches they first verify their spelliing in the OA Handbook.  These are three word you just don’t misspell on a patch!

"When in the pursuit of happiness Obstacles cross our way, When all seems lost And there is a darkening of the day. Remember God in His heaven And it does not cost to call. We'll find despite our troubles We've been blessed after all. "
