Lodge 221: 2008 Region Chief Flap
Brad Hutto has been doing his best to keep me busy with South Carolina issues lately. If only folks in the other 49 states were as eager to keep my busy. Thanks.
Muscogee lodge recently issued a flap in honor of their lodge brother, Mason Thomas, who was elected the Order of the Arrow’s (OA) 2008 Southern Region Chief.
Lodge 185: 2008 LLD Whippoorwill
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge has recently issued its third whippoorwill shaped patch, intended for the lodge’s 2008 LLD. As in 2006 and 2007 the patch is shaped like the lodge totem, the whippoorwill. The only text on the patch is the year, 2008.
Thanks to Brad Hutto for the image of this piece.
Lodge 270: Recent Chapter Issues
Brad Hutto recently sent me images of three new chapter issues from Skyuka lodge. There is one each from Cherokee, Union, and York chapters.
The Cherokee Chapter item is the first patch issued by this chapter known to me. The patch, pictured, is in the shape of a square with the upper right corner rounded off.
Union Chapter has previously issued three arrowheads and two round chapter activity patches. They break new ground with their first triangular patch. The classic design features the lodge’s totem on a black background with a white rolled edge border. BSA is in black above the chapter name. It is very difficult to see on the image.
Lodge 270: 2007 Events Patches
A couple of weeks ago Brad Hutto sent me a number of images of new issues from Skyuka 270. The first of these are the rest of the 2007 activities patches for this lodge.
Skyuka produced two different patches for their 2007 Banquet. The first version with a blue sun was already on this site as eA2007-1. The second version has a yellow sun and I have numbered it eA2007-2, renumbering the Spring Fellowship and pre-Dixie patches accordingly.
There are also new patches for the 2007 Ordeal and Fall Fellowship. All these patches follow the same general design of an American Indian shooting an arrow into the sky, with a mountainous background. The colors of the mountains reflect the season in which each event was held.
Lodge 270: 2007 Pre-Dixie Fellowship
Skyuka lodge holds an even in the Spring before their section conclave called the “Pre-Dixie Fellowship”. As I understand it, one of the purposes of this event is to get lodge brothers excited for the upcoming section conclave, the Dixie Fellowship.
The design follows a similar scheme as the previous two events patches for this year.
Blue Book data are as follows:
| Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| eA2007-3? | WHT | C | M/C | RED | YEL | fdl; Pre-Dixie 2007 |

Thanks to Brad Hutto for supplying the image and news of this patch.
Lodge 185: 2007 LLD Whippoorwill
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge has issued a patch intended for their 2007 LLD. Like in 2006 the patch is shaped like the lodge totem, the whippoorwill. The only text on the patch is the year, 2007. This patch was first mentioned in the comments to an earlier post about this lodge’s issues.
Thanks to Brad Hutto for the image of this piece.
Lodge 221: 2007 Summer Fellowship
Yesterday Brad Hutto sent me some scans of Muscogee lodge pieces that were not yet on my site. Among them was the most recent event patch, their 2007 Summer Fellowship. Thanks, Brad.
If you look carefully, you will see that “Camp Barstow” is embroidered below the word “lodge” and the lodge number above “lodge”, in the same colors as the background. The fleur d’lis is to the left of the fox’s head.
The red, orange and yellow in the design remind me more of Fall than Summer, but it is a very attractive patch nonetheless. I appreciate well done designs, especially since I can’t draw to save my life.
Lodge 236: 2006 Events Issues
I can finally report on the 2006 activities patches from Unali’yi lodge. Thanks to Brad Hutto for the images of these patches.
Following recent practice, four activity patches were issued for the lodge’s Spring and Fall fellowship and Ordeal. The patches all follow an icthyological theme.
Lodge 221: 2007 Dixie Delegate Patch
Muscogee lodge has recently issued its first Dixie delegate patch this century. Thanks to Brad Hutto for the image.
It also pays homage to the lodge’s 65th anniversary. Note the small “65″ between the lodge totem and the LBL fleur d’lis.
“Diamonds Are Forever”. I wonder: will the lodge will be adopting a James Bond theme for this conclave? The “Diamond Anniversary” is traditionally the 60th anniversary, not 65th.
Lodge 270: 2006 and 2007 Events Issues
Thanks to Brad Hutto for sending me several images of recent event patches from Skyuka 270.
Three of these are 2006 events issues not previously mentioned here. They were issued for the lodge’s Pre-Dixie Fellowship, Summer Ordeal, and Fall Fellowship. As with the first two events patches for 2006, these are designed to be worn around the 2006 arrowman patch, to be listed as R2.
The fourth patch, pictured to the left, was issued for the lodge’s 2007 Banquet.
Blue Book information for these is below.
Lodge 185: Uncatalogued LLD Segments
This is the last of the posts from the information Brad Hutto sent me.
There were five segments to accompany the R3 from this lodge, one for each year the patch was in use. Until now, none of these were catalogued.
Blue Book data for these segments are: Continue Reading »
Lodge 185: New Lodge Issues (R5, S28, X16)
Brad Hutto recently made me aware of several new and uncatalogued issues from Atta Kulla Kulla 185. These include a couple of new lodge issues, a new chapter piece and several LLD year segments that have not been catalogued previously. For clarity’s sake I will detail these in three separate posts.
First up are the lodge issues.
