2008 Section W1B Conclave
Posted in 
John asked that I would make an entry about the W1B conclave held at Fire Mountain Scout Reservation in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Note: If you live in Washington and would like to become the Washington editor please contact John and he welcomes the additional help.
The conclave this year was the largest in attendance for a good long while. The program was great and the spirit radiated from arrowman to arrowman. The section auction set a new record in sales. This was due to the increase of participants and the quantity and quality of items being offered for auction.
The conclave had six patches issued for the event. The first was the red border participant Patch. This was given to each arrowman at registration. The next patch was the Uncas Award. This was a black border patch that was given when the participation requirements were met. A white border patch was given to those that donated $50 worth of patches to the auction. The last four inch patch was the silver mylar border that was issue to the COC and certain staff members. A limited number of sets were available at the trading post. The sets had three of the four regular size patches. The white border was held out to encourage donations.
There were two jacket patches issued. The Black border was available to everyone to purchase. The silver mylar was given to those that spent $300 at the auction or purchased one for $300.
The host lodge, Sihks Mox Lamonti 338, issued two flaps for the event. The red border was made available to those in attendance. The red mylar border was highly restricted and only one per host lodge staffer.
By far this was one of the better W1B conclaves I have attended in awhile and I expect next year’s to even be better.

Jeff, thanks for all the info on the W1B… sorry I had to miss it, the Beautiful one has a Mini, and it was due for service in Fife! So, we were close yet far away. See you in September.
