In 2006 Wauna La-Mon’Tasy decided to issue a Camp Staff flap that would cover all camp staffers no matter which camp they staffed at. This also included the 2 JLT courses and the Cub Resisdent Camps. A few years before the Camp Meriwether had a staff flap of their own, S55, and they sold out very quickly.

Well another two years have past and time again for Wauna La-Mon’Tay 442 to issue a new regular issue flap.

This flap was designed by a youth member of the lodge. This is a departure from the past several years where the lodge has gone with an adult design. The funny thing about this flap is that it reminds me of several flaps that Cahuilla 127 has issued over the last ten years.

This design will also serve as the basis for the lodge Leadership in Service flap that will be issued toward the beginning of 2009. I do not believe that the NOAC flap will include this design.

I have plenty of these for trade and I have them available on EBay.   See you again.

Recently I have seen several Skyloo 442 Ceremony Jacket Patches pop up on eBay. Funny thing about that is that only one was issued per person per lifetime and this guy in Germany has an endless supply. Paul Collett and I know how many of these were made and issued and the very tough standards that were used to qualify for one. Scan of the real deal are on this site and if I ever get my hands on one of the fakes - it will be also. If you have one please send me a scan. This guy has also produced a fake of the 311 Es-Kaielgu F1.

About 200 of this design were made and 50 of those had the word Honorary stitched on the bottom for adults that advised a qualifying team. All were awarded and nobody (I repeat NOBODY) got an extra. In fact the lodge was so tough that they used the same patch when Skyloo merged with Cole Snass Lamatai. Wauna X2 was created so that the patch could reflect the new lodge name. I have both Jacket Patches and the X2.

1977, the year I am elected to the Order of the Arrow, and Skyloo holds its second Native American Arts and Crafts Seminar. I am basking in the warm climate of 29 Palms, California wondering when I will get to the Palm Springs Tram to go up into the Mountains and ski (or more like fall a zillion times in the snow and have my girlfriend laugh at me). Back on topic — This event was held at the Chief Obie Lodge on Scouter’s Mountain.

Three items were issued for this event. A patch, a neckerchief and a pin. I do not have a scan of the pin but it was a golden buffalo with no words or numbers. Many people attended this event and the neckerchiefs proved to be the sought after item. The patches were produced in enough quantity so that very few were left over
