Lodge 12: Arrowhead Chapter Issues

Posted in NE-4C Lodges, Nentico 12 by Dave Scocca on May 26th, 2008 at 7:00 am

A set of chapter issues from Arrowhead Chapter of Nentico Lodge #12; like the Chesapeake issue of my last post, these are not brand-new but have not previously been documented. There are four arrowhead-shaped patches, all with button loops. Three have a white background and indicate “Ordeal”, “Brotherhood”, and “Vigil”; the fourth has a light gray background and says “Staff”.

The “Staff” patch is distinct from the already-listed A2 in two key ways: the background is light gray (instead of white) and the term “Lodge 12″ is ghosted (instead of red).

Lodge 12: Chesapeake Chapter 20th Anniversary

Posted in NE-4C Lodges, Nentico 12 by Dave Scocca on May 24th, 2008 at 7:00 am

Chesapeake Chapter 20th AnniversaryThis “new” item from Chesapeake Chapter of Nentico Lodge #12 is eight years old now, but has been hard to catch up with. I have finally been able to scan one this week; I saw it briefly at last summer’s lodge picnic, but was unable at that time to get either an image or enough notes to have a good description. Nentico started using district-based chapters in 1980; several chapter issues have commemorated anniversaries, including the piece pictured here issued by Chesapeake Chapter in 2000.

Posted in NE-4C Lodges, Nentego 20 by Dave Scocca on May 23rd, 2008 at 7:00 am

Bronze Tiger SetThe Freedom Trail Chapter of Nentego Lodge #20 has decided to “adopt” a tiger at their local zoo. To fund this adoption, they are issuing three two-piece sets featuring a tiger face. The flap portion has the tiger’s eyes and a ghosted arrowhead, with the lodge’s totem represented by a small blue jumping fish. The bottom part has the rest of the tiger’s face, with a large ghosted fish. The three sets are identical except for the border colors, which are bronze mylar, gold mylar, and silver mylar.

Nentico Lodge held the 2008 Spring Fellowship at Broad Creek’s Camp Spencer the weekend of April 18-20. The fellowship focused on preparing to host the NE-4C Conclave. The patch design features a hard hat, a shovel based on the OA arrow logo, and what I sincerely hope is a pile of dirt.
