Scott Downs sent along scans of three items issued for the 1969 Area 2-D Conclave hosted by Loon Lodge #364 and held at their Camp Bedford. The theme was Boypower Manpower.
First is the pocket patch:
There was also a neckerchief with the pocket patch sewn on:
and finally a neckerchief slide:
The slide is a current need of mine.

Greetings.. I attended that Conclave as a Brotherhood member from Troop 38 in Chazy, NY. I also went to NOAC that summer (as I recall, right after I got back from Conclave) with the 11th NOAC being held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Unfortunately through various moves and my work later in the 70s for Pine Tree Council in Maine (Program Director at Camp Hinds) and National (Base Director at Matagamon High Adventure Scout Base in Maine & instructor at National Camp School in Massachusetts), all of my scout memorabilia was lost. Now, late in life, I am back at it, ASM for my youngest’s troop here in Vermont, advising their Venture Patrol, which grew from our trek at Philmont last summer. Thanks for this website and for keeping Loon #364 alive – STEF
