John Pannell shares a request from Sam Fairchild.
Sam Fairchild has asked that I share this recent message he posted on patch-l.
Since the founding of an Order of the Arrow Lodge is inextricably connected to the council’s summer camp program, the Scouting Century Foundation has decided to enlarge its first issue collection to include the camp insignia (whether badge, patch, pin or neckerchief) that was used the summer the lodge was founded.  We will also include a short narrative about the founding of each lodge…
Read the full post on John’s site. It is an interesting concept. I’ll have to think about it for the 5 GNYC Lodges. Ranachqua #4, Shu Shu Gah #24, Suanhacky #49, Man-A-Hattan #82 and Aquehongian Lodge #112.
If anyone wants to write up a posting and scan for the camp issue from the founding year of their New York OA Lodge, I’ll host it on this blog.
