Lodge 270: Recent Chapter Issues
Brad Hutto recently sent me images of three new chapter issues from Skyuka lodge. There is one each from Cherokee, Union, and York chapters.
The Cherokee Chapter item is the first patch issued by this chapter known to me. The patch, pictured, is in the shape of a square with the upper right corner rounded off.
Union Chapter has previously issued three arrowheads and two round chapter activity patches. They break new ground with their first triangular patch. The classic design features the lodge’s totem on a black background with a white rolled edge border. BSA is in black above the chapter name. It is very difficult to see on the image.
York Chapter revised their 2005 chapter patch for this 2008 issue. Previously the fleur d’lis was purple and the word “Chapter” yellow. On this new issue both have been changed to gold mylar.
The Blue Book data for these three new issues is as follows:
| Chapter | Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
