Patch Collecting Posts
April 15th, 2012
Looking for Trading Stock?
Over the past several years I have accumulated an abundance of flaps. This is an opportunity for you. I can now offer lots of ten (10) different and assorted flaps, all mint and no spoofs/fakes, for $40 postpaid to US addresses.
Please, at this time this is a limit of one lot per person. No requests for particular issues or lodges can be honored. My extras are stored in boxes and I will pull them out ten at a time at random.
If interested please send payment via PayPal to me at jpannell@triad.rr.com. Please remember to include your address. Thanks and happy collecting!

Lodge 296: Region Chief Flap, "MVE"
Greg Grimes recently sent me this image of two RED bordered 2012 Home of the Region Chief flaps, showing something he noticed about them. Apparently there may be thin and thick letter variations in this issue. To me this is not significant enough to be listed as a variety. It is for cases like this that my site uses the notation, "MVE" (minor variations exist).
I told Greg I would share this image with fellow collectors. What do you think? Chase after this variation or not; that is completely up to you!

Breast Cancer Patch Checklist
Now that there is a growing list of breast cancer related patches as well as a devoted group of collectors chasing after them, I thought now is a good time to put together a list of those issues. I now know of at least 18 issues from 12 lodges, including a key fob and one chapter issue.
"Continue reading" to see the list.

Eswau Huppeday 560 X30?
Eswau Huppeday lodge has been issuing a CSP for the last several years for Camp Bud Schiele. In 2009 the lodge followed 2008′s precedent and issued a second CSP for camp staff. Thanks again to Jimmy Arthurs for word and images of these issues.
The design is also similar to past years’ CSPs. It features the US and NC flags with a graphical representation of that year’s theme between them For 2009 the theme was “Keeping the Campfires Burning”.
Listing data for these issues are given below. I do not yet have complete information on the “regular” CSP. Once I do, I will update this entry.

- Lodge 116: 2010 Spring Fellowship
Posted on Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 in Santee 116 – Views: (29)
Santee recently issued their second event patch of 2010 for this year’s Spring Fellowship. Once again, thanks to Brad Hutto, probably my biggest contributor for images of recent South Carolina issues for this one.Those familiar with this lodge’s issues and their love of tradition will note the patch uses a variation on the traditional red and black double border previously used on the lodge’s Ordeal flaps.
- Lodge 560: 2009 Fall Fellowship
Thanks to Jimmy Arthurs for updating me on several recent issues from Eswau Huppeday. I will be highlighting these in several blog posts. First up is the 2009 Fall Fellowship patch.This issue continues with the “Spy vs. Spy” theme used on the lodge’s 2009 NOAC and Dixie Fellowship issues.
- Lodge 560: 2010 Carolinas Indian Seminar
Is this Eswau Huppeday week here? If so, I could do far worse!
Eswau Huppeday hosted the 2010 Carolinas Indian Seminar last Winter. Following the traditional formula and design scheme two patches were issued. One was for those who attended the event and the second was for staff.

Observant readers and users of this site may notice that I apparently developed the ability to travel through the space/time continuum with some of the recent site updates. Look carefully at some of the stuff recently added to the site and this blog and you’ll see what I mean.
First I need to adjust the clock on this server and now I have displayed time travel abilities.

Santee 116 eX2010-2?
Santee recently issued their second event patch of 2010 for this year’s Spring Fellowship. Once again, thanks to Brad Hutto, probably my biggest contributor for images of recent South Carolina issues for this one.
Those familiar with this lodge’s issues and their love of tradition will note the patch uses a variation on the traditional red and black double border previously used on the lodge’s Ordeal flaps. It also prominently employs a traditional representation of the lodge’s totem. The design is simple and tasteful, eschewing the more commercial or cartoon-like elements found on issues from other lodges.
The listing data for this are as follows:

- Lodge 116: 2009 and 2010 Events Issues
Posted on Monday, April 5th, 2010 in Santee 116 – Views: (68)
These images were sent to me back in the dim ages when the bison swarmed the prairies, or something like that. Thanks to Brad Hutto for keeping me informed even if I am terribly slow in updating things here.Santee lodge issued five patches for the lodge’s events in 2009.
- Lodge 185: 2010 Whippoorwill
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge issued last Winter their 2010 Whippoorwill patch, used for the lodge’s 2010 LLD. Thanks to Brad Hutto, once again for this image. This is the fifth such patch the lodge has issued. As with the previous four, I have chosen to list this with the lodge issues rather than as an event patch since no event is named on it.

April Fool!
It should go without saying that my post about this site being sold to a Google/eBay partnership was my annual April Fool's post. I have no plans at this time to give up or sell this web site. Long time readers will know this has become quite the tradition here and I usually start planning the posts several months in advance. The most famous (infamous?) of these was 2008's post concerning the abolishment of lodge names. It still creates difficulty from time to time for those in authority in the OA and BSA due to the inability of some to detect obvious (in my opinion) satire.

OAImages Soon Under New Ownership
This post contains important information regarding the future of this website. Please read carefully.
Many have noticed that I have found it hard to maintain this website for quite some time now. Due to various reasons, some of them beyond my control, updating the price guide regularly has become all but impossible. Things have become a bit less chaotic, but after 15 years this has become a chore. I also know that there will come the day when control of this site will need to be passed to another. With all that in mind, I have been considering various options for the future of OAImages. In the midst of this, a several months ago I was contacted by someone who made me an offer that was too good to resist. After many months of negotiations I am now free to announce that this site has been purchased by a combined partnership of Google and eBay. This will be effective July 1, 2012.

Tschipey Achtu Lodge: Update
Back in 2010 I announced the formation of Tschipey Achtu lodge as a result of the merger of Ty-Ohni 95 and Ganeodiyo 417. At the time I was told they would use the number 397, which is also their council number. This created a bit of controversy as that number is currently in use by Chilantakoba lodge in Louisiana. I also announced their first flap. Other than a 2010 Jamboree issue no further news from this lodge made it to me.
I was talking with a Roger Ward last night who was at the recent Winter South Carolina Trade-O-Ree. He tells me it has not been quiet in that lodge. The use of 397 was problematic. Many wanted to choose a different number. Some wanted to claim the number zero, but that was not well received given the special place Unami 1 holds in the Order of the Arrow. The Scout Executive, I am told, stepped in and told the lodge they will use the lower number from the two merged lodges.
The lodge is now known as Tschipey Achtu 95. I have updated the site to reflect this current information. Several new issues have also been added.

An OAImages iPad App?
Some of those who know me personally, know that I have gone over to the "Dark Side" and have started using Apple products. I bought an iMac a couple of months ago and just recently got an iPad. My brother is trying to tell me that my Droid's days are numbered.
I really like my iPad and started day dreaming about an OAImages app for it. I have no idea how to go about writing this and it would take me into an entirely new area from what I know. It's not something that would happen easily or soon. Here's your chance to give feedback. What do you think about an OAImages app? What would you put in it? Do you have any thoughts on how it would be distributed or how much it would cost?

Coming out of Hiding About April 1st
It's kind of odd to come out of hiding to post about a topic like this.
I'm hearing from some brothers that there have been gullible readers to this blog over the years. I would have thought it was obvious from the context of the posts, but the various posts made on this blog throughout the years that have appeared on APRIL FIRST are all satire. None of them are true. Read them and chuckle but please do not complain to your friendly OA National Committee members, Scout Executives, lodge advisers, or official website administrators about the "changes" that are "announced" in them.
