On June 11-12, 1955, the lodges of Area 3A met at Treasure Island Camp; the event was a celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the host lodge, Unami #1, as well as of the Order of the Arrow.

The embroidered patch for this event is the first patch issued for an Area 3A activity. It features the shape of Treasure Island on a octagon, with a color scheme resembling Unami’s round patches of the era.

Particularly given its age, this is a surprisingly easy patch to find; the 3A issues from the early to mid-1960s are much scarcer than the 1955 patch.

The 1955 meeting had a plastic comb-bound program book with the patch design illustrated on the cover. There was also a small (three-inch-high) notepad of blank paper with a printed cover that was issued to conference attendees.
