 At the 2008 Winter Fellowship this past weekend, Echockotee 200 began their series of themed event patches for the year, along with the annual “year patch”.  With the theme of “Florida’s Coral Reef”, the year patch measures 10.25 inches at its widest point, by 7.25 inches at its tallest point.  And it has 22 colors.

The patches for each of the lodges four weekend events and the contingent to the 2008 S-4S Conference depict the fish on the year patch; for the Winter Fellowship event, the design was that of a parrotfish.     

It was also discovered this weekend that the patch made by Echockotee for staffing the 2006 “Special Needs Camporee” (previously named as one of the “ugliest OA patches ever” here and here) has a variety.  A re-order of fifty patches had been made, and came back with darker green lettering, lines, and fleur-de-lis.  Oddly enough, this actually made the design look worse.  The Winter Fellowship was the first weekend where a comparison was made of the two orders.

Echockotee also held their annual patch auction, raising over $1,000 to go toward youth fees for NOAC 2009.
