Tipisa 326 Chapter Patches, Volume 5
Posted in 
Previous entries to this blog about the chapters of Tipisa Lodge 326 have shown the multitude of issues that have been created. By the customs of the lodge and sometimes by their rules, the chapters carry out some of the functions that elsewhere would be carried out at the lodge level (annual chapter Ordeals, multiple District camporee weekends each year, etc). So the reasons why the Tipisa chapters create emblems are much like those for small lodges: identification, service recognition, events, and anniversaries.
A realignment of the districts in Central Florida Council will also be reducing the chapters from 14 to 11. Besides requiring a change in lodge flaps (each feather on the flap represents a chapter), chapters will be disappearing as a result of mergers. Until then, here are some of the recent chapter items:
Astatula Chapter issued a new patch (X-6), commemorating the 100th anniversary of the BSA.
Elauwit Chapter (aka “The Nekkid Blue Guy”) has yet another emblem for 2010 (X-17). Along with Waga Hlakgo Chapter, they ran the 2010 Spring Cookeree for Apopka Shores District, creating patches for attendees and staff.
Micconope Chapter came out with a patch for their Ceremonies Team. Its size would make wearing on a uniform to be impossible, and would be classified as a jacket patch (J-1). A patch was also made for their chapter Lock-In event, as well.
