Occoneechee 104 Eluwak Chapter X2?

There has been a lot of publicity and discussion on the National policy that prohibits lodge flaps for the individual “honors” (Ordeal, Brotherhood and Vigil), also referred to as OBV flaps.     Many lodges did not have such flaps and were unaffected by this change.   Some lodges that formerly issued OBV flaps have discontinued the practice.     A rare few came up with creative ways to skirt the rule and continue the tradition for at least a little longer.       Did Eluwak Chapter in Occoneechee lodge realize this applied to loge flaps and and not rectangular patches issued by chapters?   Thanks to Greg Grimes for news of these issues and the images.

These three issues are an adaptation of the chapter’s X1.   Some have attached symbolism to the color scheme of the oirginal design.   In my opinion, I find the revised color scheme to be more visually appealing and effective as a patch intended to identify membership in a chapter.   Except for the border colors, the three patches are identical

Listing data for these issues are as follows:

Chapter Issue Bdr Color/Type Bkgd Name fdl/BSA Comments
Eluwak X2? WHT R BLK BLU WHT fdl; (ORD)
Eluwak X3? DYL R BLK BLU WHT fdl; (BRO)
Eluwak X24 GRY R BLK BLU WHT fdl; (VIG)
