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.

Ahoalan-Nachpikin Issues Breast Cancer Flap
Ahoalan-Nachpikin lodge from Memphis, TN has joined the growing list of lodges (and one chapter) that have issued patches in support of breast cancer research. As with many others, this issue is also a pink monochrome. Thanks to Nick DeMarco for supplying this image.
If you know of any other patches that have been issued for this cause, please either send the images to me or comment on this post below. Thanks.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 eX2009-4?
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge recently held their Fall Fellowship and released their fourth event item for the year (eX2009-4?). Thanks again to Brad Hutto for keeping us informed.
This patch is the fourth piece in a set. The other pieces are the eX2009-1? (2009 Spring Fellowship, eX2009-2? (2009 Lodge Cookout), and X21? (2009 Dixie Fellowship). The completed design pictures a whippoorwill superimposed upon a compass rose.
I guess it’s only fitting this patch depicts the whippoorwill’s tail for an even held near the “tail end” of the year!
Listing data for this item should be as follows:

Atta Kulla Kulla: 2009 OA Service Corps Patch
Brad Hutto sends word of an interesting new issue from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge. As is readily apparent this was issued for the 2009 OA Service Corps. There are some aspects of this patch that might confuse those not from the lodge’s immediate area.
I would appreciate some input from the brothers of this lodge, or other knowledgeable people, to confirm some information. Was this item issued by the lodge or Blue Ridge Council (BRC)? If issued by the council, then this item doesn’t get listed under Atta Kulla Kulla lodge. Was this item for a specific event? If so, what was it? The answer would determine whether this should be listed as an event item (eR2009-…) or a lodge issue (R…).

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 eX2009-2?
Brad Hutto sends word of the latest event issue from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge, issued for the lodge’s cookout. This is the third of series of patches issued for the lodge’s 2009 events and the 2009 Dixie Fellowship. Previous issues were the 2009 Spring Fellowship (eX2009-1?) and 2009 Dixie Fellowship (X21?) patches. When completed, the set will depict a whippoorwill superimposed upon a compass rose.
Just a very small portion of the whippoorwill is shown at the point of this patch.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 S36?
Since I could not be at NOAC this year, I am finding out about NOAC issues later than some of you out there. Brad Hutto sends word of the three issues from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge.
The lodge issued a two part set with a grey border as their “trader” patches. There was also a SMY bordered flap, using the same design as the trader flap, that was designated their delegate piece. These have been added to my NC and SC 2009 NOAC checklist.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 Ca-nu-pa Chapter eX2009?
This is another of several images Brad Hutto recently sent of new issues from South Carolina. This time, we have a chapter event patch from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge.
As in 2008 Ca-nu-pa chapter issued a patch for the District Camporee, called a “retreat” in 2009, that they ran. I do not know if a second staff patch was issued as in 2008.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 L4?
Here’s another patch that has managed to escape listing here for many years. Thanks to Johnny Smith for the image.
In 1990 Atta Kulla Kulla lodge issued three leather patches for the OA’s 75th and the lodge’s 50th anniversaries. Each of these had a similar design and were differentiated by the use of either an Ordeal, Brotherhood, or Vigil arrow. There was also a fourth patch, pictured, with a design similar to the L1 but with the word “Dixie” added.
The listing data for this issue are:

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 eX2008-3?
Brad Hutto recently sent me images of recent issues from some of the South Carolina lodges, not connected with this year’s Dixie Fellowship. Included among them were some 2008 and 2009 events issues and the 2009 whippoorwill from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge.
The first two of these are the remaining 2008 events issues. These were issued for the lodge’s Fall Fellowship and Lodge Cookout (pictured). Both feature an anthropomorphized whippoorwill.
The 2009 Spring Fellowship patch (eX2009-1?) has a rather odd design when seen by itself. However, when joined with all the 2009 events patches and the lodge’s Dixie Fellowship issue (X21?) a large round design featuring the whippoorwill on a compass rose will be created.

Atta Kulla Kulla 185 X21?
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge was one of three lodges in SR-5 to issue only an odd-shape for this year’s Dixie Fellowship, along with Tomo Chi-Chi 119 and Muscogee 221.
Their issue is a rather simple design featuring the lodge’s whippoorwill totem. This is a part of a four patch set, with the lodge’s events issues for this year. When pieced together, all four patches will form a large circular design with a whippoorwill in the center.
The listing data for this issue are as follows:

Barring any late issues, I should now be done reporting on new issues from the conclaves in this part of the Southeast. There’s still more new issues to report on, though.
Atta Kulla Kulla lodge has joined the growing list of lodges that have issued a flap for this summer’s ArrowCorps5 program. The flap has a neat design, featuring a landscape that could be from the upstate area of South Carolina. The traditional representation of the lodge’s whippoorwill has been altered to outfit him for trail crew work. Thanks to Darrell Green for this image

Darrell Green also recently sent me this image of Atta Kulla Kulla lodge’s 2008 Spring Fellowship patch.
The lodge’s whippoorwill totem is portrayed more like a stylized eagle. It is superimposed upon a sunrise over mountains.

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?

Indian Summer and Summit Corps Patches

To view these items, go to OA Images: National and Special Events Patches page and select either of these events from the "Other Specialties" drop down box.

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.
