Lodge 117: ArrowCorps5 Flaps
Croatan lodge issued a set of five flaps recently for this Summer’s ArrowCorps5 events. Each flap depicts one of the five locations the Order of the Arrow will be working at this Summer.
I have already seen these flaps at least twice on eBay, sold as a single lot. Thanks to Greg Grimes and Roger Ward for these images.
North Carolina ArrowCorps5 Lodge Issues
Posted in Croatan 117, Occoneechee 104, SR-7B Lodges, Tsoiotsi Tsogalii 70 by John E. Pannell on April 7th, 2008 at 2:19 pm Earlier today I was working on the price guide portion of this site and saw a set of five flaps from Croatan 117 that recently sold on eBay. These were issued by the lodge for this Summer’s ArrowCorps5 with each flap depicting one of the program’s sites.
Occoneechee lodge will issue a single flap to help fund the travel expenses of its ArrowCorps5 participants. The lodge will order 500 of these flaps.
Lodge 117: Unlisted Neusiok Chapter Item
This is another unusual piece from Croatan lodge that seems to have evaded Blue Book and the other various catalogues throughout the years. It’s a diamond shaped patch from Neusiok chapter.
This is one of the more unusual items I’ve seen lately. The design is printed on some sort of light blue sateen-like material. This was then mounted on a backing that feels like card stock, or something similar. A yellow rolled edge border and a thin leather loop were added to finish it off.
This is well beyond the type of material I can personally collect. Would this be described as “printed on composition”?
There has been some discussion on patch-l recently about what makes a patch an OA issue. It was sparked when Jeff Ansley shared the patch shown to the left with the group.
Jeff questioned whether or not this item should be listed as an event patch for Malibu 566 because of the inclusion of what appears to be the "MGM Indian" in its design. The general concensus was that this was not an OA issue. It was noted the design included symbols of the various programs found within this council, of which the Order of the Arrow was one.
I also touched upon this issue, in my recent post about two unlisted items that might be chapter issues from Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188.
This leads to a broader discussion of what is an OA issue and how is it decided whether or not to include an item on this site or in Blue Book. It's not always as simple as you might think.

Jim Goldrup recently sent me images of several new issues from various New England lodges. Among these images was an unusual certificate awarded at the 2004 NE-1B conclave to those brothers who completed the "Patch Design Session".
I've known a "patchor" and a "patch geek" or two over the years, but this is a new one for me. Are you a patch weenie?

After sending images of three recent issues from this chapter, Brad Hutto found a fourth new issue from Spartan chapter of Skyuka 270. This newest one was issued to members of the chapter's unit election teams. Like other recent issues, this issue is shaped like the state of South Carolina and feature the lodge's double-headed thunderbird superimposed upon a palmetto tree.
This patch is identical to the one I previously labeled "X9?" except for the color of the fleur d'lis (fdl) which was changed from grey to red. There is no writing on the patch to indicate an intended use for chapter unit election teams.
