The first was simply described as Lowanne Nimat Lodge 219 OA 2010 Boy Scout BSA Jamboree Flap, from a seller who seemed to be auctioning off items obtained at the 2010 National Jamboree.

“We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country’s Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions.” —George Washington, General Orders, 1776
