Bob White lodge adopted “The Bob Father” as their theme for the 2008 Dixie fellowship. Two nearly identical flaps were issued. The more common flap has “The Bob Father” in WHT. The rare delegate version, one per person, has this phrase in GMY. Thanks, to Greg Grimes again.

This lodge issued five patches for the 2008 Dixie Fellowship. There was the flap pictured here and four pocket patches, each depicting a branch of the US armed forces. All the patches, including the flap, were issued with a pocket loop. Thanks to Greg Grimes for sending images of these pieces.
The tank is for the US Army. The USS Alexandria represents the US Navy. A bulldog depicts the US Marine Corps. A fighter plane was used the US Air Force. As far as I know, no patch was issued for the US Coast Guard.
Atta Kulla Kulla, like Skyuka and Muscogee lodges, issued only an odd-shaped patch for this year’s Dixie Fellowship. Thanks to Greg Grimes for sending the image.
I can’t quite figure out what the whippoorwill is supposed to be doing on this patch. It looks like he’s striking a cowbell? Why the lavender and pink shirt? Maybe I’d understand the design better if I was there. Can someone fill me in on this?
Eswau Huppeday lodge issued two different flaps for this year’s Dixie Fellowship. Even though they appeared the week before at the SR-7B Conclave, I thought I would hold off on a blog post for them until I got to all the other Dixie issues. Roger Ward and Greg Grimes brought these by my home so I could scan them for this site.
The first flap, pictured, is a depiction of “Eswau World”. The design was inspired by the relative proximity of this year’s conclave location to Carowinds.
The post titles are probably looking very repetitive by now, but there’s still plenty more 2008 Dixie Fellowship issues yet to come.
Skyuka lodge was the host lodge for this year’s Dixie fellowship. Like Muscogee and Atta Kulla Kulla (post yet to come), the lodge issued an odd-shape for this year’s Dixie Delegates. However, Skyuka was unique in being the only lodge to issue a leather patch for this year’s conclave.
The design is patterned after the conclave patch issued by the section. Once again, thanks to Brad Hutto and Greg Grimes for sending images and news of this issue.
Muscogee lodge issued a single patch, not a flap, for the 2008 Dixie Fellowship. The design depicts this lodge’s theme for the conclave: The Mighty 221. The theme was inspired by the movie 300.
Thanks to Greg Grimes and Brad Hutto for sending me images of this piece.
The 2008 Dixie Fellowship, SR-5 Conclave, was held this past weekend. Nearly all of the 11 lodges in SR-5 issued patches for the event. This is the first of many blog posts detailing the new issues that appeared.
Santee lodge issued a single flap for this year’s conclave. The Carolina Parakeet, desperately in need of some sunscreen, has taken up building sand castles by moonlight. 
The flap was issued with a red loop so members could wear the patch without having to sew it onto their uniforms. Thanks to Brad Hutto and Greg Grimes for sending me images of this piece.
Posted in Florida Lodges, OAImages News, SR-5 Lodges, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 16th, 2008 at 9:59 am In recent years OA Sections here in the Southeast generally all hold their conclaves on the third and fourth weekends in April. With Easter falling especially early this year, the schedule has been stretched out. Three sections are especially relevant to the lodges normally covered here.
S-4S, peninsular Florida, held their conclave this past weekend. We should have some updates for the new issues appearing there soon.

Jeff Cook has been trying to keep me up to date with South Carolina items lately After seeing my recent post on possible issues from lodge 185, he sent me the image of the rather unusual patch pictured. It uses the names of three South Carolina lodges but appears to be issued by an Explorer post. He couldn’t remember exactly what the patch was made for, but had seen a few floating around South Carolina the last several years.
Why was this patch made? What’s the connection between the named lodges and “Post 1801″. Jason Spangler was able to provide some answers.
Chris Jensen recently acquired a collection that had several pieces in it that might be of interest to lodge 188 collectors. They might be issues from this lodge’s Concord Chapter. Like a couple of other recent posts here, I throw these out for your comments and discussion.
The first item, pictured at the top of this post, has the strongest claim to being an issue from lodge 188’s Concord Chapter. Even though it does refer to the Concord District Spring Camporee it is conceivable the O.A. Callout was an chapter or lodge run event at this camporee. Beyond referring to an event specific to the Order of the Arrow program, the patch also prominently features an Ordeal sash oddly draped across a backpack.

I mentioned this piece in a recent post about possible unlisted chapter items from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge. When I had first written the post I did not yet have an image and wasn’t sure if it met the criteria to be listed as a neckerchief.
Thanks again to Charlie Moehlenbrock for letting me know about this item.
Once again, I’ll quote what Charlie had to say about this piece:
Charlie Moehlenbrock, a former member of Atta Kulla Kulla lodge currently in Kansas, recently wrote me about a few items that should probably be added to the chapter listings for this lodge. He also included the set of shoulder loops pictured here. They’re not material that would be included in a patch catalog but I thought them worthy for sharing here nonetheless.
Unfortunately Charlie isn’t the best photographer, so I must apologize for the less than great quality of these images.
