Tomo Chi-Chi 119 X6?

Tomo Chi-Chi lodge issued two odd-shaped patches for last Spring’s SR-5 Conclave, the Dixie Fellowship.     One of these is a bright pink monochrome, guaranteed to rile some Scouters and Scouts*.   Both have the same design.   Thanks to Alan McDonald for these images.

The lodge adopted a lovely theme for this year’s Dixie Fellowship and decided to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day in April.     I have accidentally deleted Alan’s email, but I believe the pink monochrome version of this was a “delegate” issue with the full colored version being the more common of the two.     If any readers can correct me on this, please do so.

The listing data for these items are as follows:

Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188 S63?+X25?

“Wouldn’t you prefer a nice game of chess?”
– Joshua,   War Games.

Itibapishe Iti Hollo lodge decided to play games with their 2010 Dixie Fellowship issues.     The lodge issued two flaps and dangles:   a delegate and trader set.     Thanks to Greg Grimes for these issues.

The two flaps and the two dangles each use similar designs however the flap and dangle within each set do not match.     The flaps each depict gaming pieces.     The trader flap’s background is the familiar black and white design of a chess board.     The delegate flap’s background is the traditional red and black of a checker board.   The trader dangle pays tribute to the lodge’s 70th anniversary.     The delegate dangle honors the BSA’s centennial.

Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188 S58?

Thanks to Jimmy Arthurs for sending word a while back of three more issues from Itibapishe Iti Hollo previously unknown to this site.   All were produced in very limited quantities and prove difficult for more collectors to acquire.

The first of these is a third flap for the 2009 Dixie Fellowship.   It was an error of the “S56?” with a white (WHT) border.   I am told the lodge kept and issued about 25 – 30 of these.   Since   a significant quantity was kept and issued by the lodge, I believe this should be listed as a regular lodge issue rather than a reject (Q category) or prototype (Y category).   The 2009 Dixie Fellowship delegate and trader sets were previously reported on this blog.

The other two issues comprise a fourth two part set for the 2009 NOAC.     The other three sets were previously reported on this blog.   This set has a silver mylar (SMY) border.     It is reported that 25 of these sets were issued and sold for $25 each.

Tsali 134 S71?+X19?

Tsali lodge recently issued three more patches for the 2010 Dixie Fellowship and the BSA’s centennial.   Thanks to Hank Birdsong and Greg Grimes for these images.

One flap and a matching “dangle” were issued for the 2010 Dixie Fellowship, SR-5 Conclave (S71?+X19?).       These issues pay tribute to white water rafting, a popular pastime in the mountains of North Carolina.   The dangle is a life preserver.

A single flap, with a design based upon the lodge’s traditional standard flap design, was issued for the BSA 100th Anniversary (S72?).

Skyuka 270 eX2010-1?

This should be the last post about Skyuka lodge for a little while.     Thanks to Brad Hutto, again, for sending images of the first 2010 events issues for this lodge.     The lodge chose a “throwback” theme for this year’s events issues with the patches replicating designs of classic Skyuka issues.

The first of these is for the lodge banquet.       It is a throwback to the lodge’s x3 and is dated 2009, instead of 2010.   I am awaiting word as to whether this is a misdated issue or whether it should be listed as a second lodge banquet issue for 2009.   Many lodges hold their banquets during the Christmas holiday season, and some hold their “year end” banquet in January of the next year, so it is not that unusual for a lodge to have two banquets in a year.     If this really is the last event issue of 2009 instead of the first of 2010, I will edit this post accordingly.

Skyuka 270 eX2009-4?

Last Summer I reported on the first two 2009 events patches from Skyuka lodge.   Now, thanks to Brad Hutto, I can finally report on two more.

As with the earlier issues, both patches have the same odd shape that features the lodge’s double-headed thunderbird totem, along with an American Indian and what appears to be a Scout in an early uniform.   I notice I do not have an image of a 2009 Spring Fellowship patch.   I don’t yet know whether the lodge didn’t issue a patch for this, if I have it in my “backlog” or if I just haven’t been sent an image of it yet.

If anyone can confirm or deny the existence of a Spring Fellowship patch, please do so in the comments.   If there is a patch for this event, I will update the listings and add it to this post.

Skyuka 270 Spartan Chapter X12?

Quick on the heels of my recent post and renumbering of the Spartan Chapter issues of Skyuka lodge, I have one more to add to the list.   This also is courtesy of Brad Hutto.

This patch, the first chevron from this chapter, was issued in 2009 and is dated.   Even with the date, since no event is named this will be listed as the chapter’s “X12?”.     The design features an interesting interpretation of the lodge totem combined with a palmetto tree and profile of SC.

Tsali 134 S70?

Tsali lodge has established a tradition of excellence over the last several years in both Group Dance and Southern Drum, winning awards for   both at the Dixie Fellowship and on a national level.       The lodge issued four flaps and two CSPs in honor of their achievements at the 2009 National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC).     Thanks to Hank Birdsong for the images and news of these patches.   At the risk of promptly being proven wrong, these may be the last patches issued for the 2009 NOAC.

Four flaps were produced, two each for the Group Dance and Southern Drum teams.     Two CSPs were also issued.       The red bordered flaps and CSP were sold individually at lodge functions.     The gold mylar (GMY) bordered flaps and CSP were only sold as a set of 3 for $25.     The flaps feature symbols and items special to the Cherokee nation:   the seven pointed Cherokee star, war club, hatchet, door bar, and twisted raw hide logo.   The seven pointed star also appears on the CSPs.

Tsali 134 J6?

Here are two more recent issues from Tsali lodge that had not yet been added to this site.   Thanks to Hank Birdsong for filling me in on these.

The first is a new jacket patch, “J6?”, issued earlier this year.     The design is similar to the “J4?”.     There are some minor color differences.     The most significant change is the removal of the two fleur d’lis that flanked the words “Order of the Arrow” on the “J4?”.

The second patch is the lodge’s 2009 Fall Fellowship patch.     This patch follows the basic design scheme the lodge has used for the past several years.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 Oolenoy chapter X1?

Oolenoy Chapter of Atta Kulla Kulla lodge recently issued their first patch in honor of the BSA’s centennial.     Thanks again to Brad Hutto, my South Carolina contributor par excellence.

To my knowledge this is the first issue for this chapter.   I also believe the shape of this patch is a representation of the district/chapter’s geographical shape.
