1957 Area 3A Patch
In June of 1957, the lodges of Area 3A met at Shikellamy Reservation near Reading Pennsylvania. Minsi Lodge #5 hosted the gathering.
The event patch was white twill with an attached tab that could be cut to go on a button, and featured the wolf totem of Minsi Lodge.
This patch is not uncommon, but for some reason there were a large number of threadbreaks in the manufacturing process and many of the 1957 3A patches in circulation are missing some part of the stitching.
1957 saw the re-establishment of the Order of the Arrow in Del-Mar-Va Council, with the creation of Nentego Lodge #20. The Nentego Lodge history page says that it was reorganized on June 22, 1957, which is probably the weekend of the Area 3A meeting. Nentego would not have had a delegation as such at the 1957 area meeting, but would have attended starting in 1958.
