1956 Dixie Fellowship Patch
The fifth Dixie Fellowship, the 1956 Area 6-B Fellowship, was held at Camp Old Indian. Atta Kulla Kulla 185 was the host lodge. Continuing the tradition started in 1953, the Confederate Battle Flag was used in the patch’s design.
Mac McLean had commented that he thought the 1955 Dixie Fellowship patch may have been designed by a professional Scouter. The same may have been true with this patch, and for the same reasons.
Thanks to Jason Spangler (www.santeeswapper.com) for supplying the images for the Area Z and Dixie Fellowship patches used on this blog.
According to McLean and Riddle’s A Golden Legacy: A 50th Anniversary History of the Dixie Fellowships the following lodges were in Area 6-B in 1956:
- Santee 116
- Tsali 134
- Atta Kulla Kulla 185
- Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188
- Skyuka 270
- Catawba 459
Starting with the 1953 area fellowships, the areas were reorganized and South Carolina was split between Areas 6-B and 6-C. This sundering of the South Carolina lodges would continue until the 1973 SE-3B conclave.
