1959 Area 6-A Fellowship

Posted in Area 6-A, Section Conclave Patches by John E. Pannell on July 16th, 2008 at 5:02 am

1959 6-A PatchThe eight remaining lodges of Area 6-A once again met for their area fellowship in 1959. They were hosted by Occoneechee 104.   I believe the conclave was at (the old) Camp Durant.   Please correct me if that is incorrect.

The patch design is nearly given over to a representation of the lodge’s thunderbird totem.   The same basic representation, but with outstretched wings, continues to appear on the lodge’s flaps to this day.

As far as I know this is the only item issued for this conclave. Conclave neckerchiefs would not appear for a few more years yet.

While not a common piece, like one would expect from any other fifty year old patch, but can be acquired with some searching and patience.
