Thanks to Jimmy Arthurs for sending the images of the remaining 2012 lodge events patches for Eswau Huppeday.

All three patches continue with the Big Foot theme the lodge has chosen to use this year.  The Spring Fellowship patch was issued this past weekend.    The other two items are yet to be issued.

560 Eswau Huppeday eX2012-4?

Two new issues have recently come from Eswau Huppeday Lodge.  They are their 2012 Elangomat patch and their most recent Beaver Day patch.   The Elangomat patch features Big Foot.  On the Beaver Day patch we can see the poor beaver could not avoid being caught under the foot of the roving Big Foot.   Thanks to Jimmy Arthurs for these images.

I am told each brother can earn one of each of these patches.   Extras are not sold.

The listing data for these items are after the jump:

Eswau Huppeday S54?

This won’t be news for those who were at the Dixie Fellowship (SR-5 Conclave) last weekend.   Eswau Huppeday has recently issued two more flaps.     One is a new standard issue.   The other is the lodge’s Dixie delegate flap.     Thanks again to Jimmy Arthurs for these.

The Dixie “Delewet” flap follows upon the watery theme the lodge is using this year and already depicted on this year’s activity patches.     Observant readers familiar with this lodge’s issues will notice several allusions to design elements found on this lodge’s earliest flaps.

Lodge 560: Cooking Up More…

Posted in Eswau Huppeday 560,SR-5 Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 23rd, 2010 at 1:23 am
Eswau Huppeday 560 J15?

Eswau Huppeday 560 J15?

This is another new issue from the treasure trove of images sent me by Jimmy Arthurs.   Eswau Huppeday recently issued their   newest cook team patch.       Except several significant color changes, this patch is identical in design to the previous Cook Team patch, listed on this site as “J14?”.

I’m waffling on how to label the border color for this patch.   In my opinion it should be a goal of any descriptive system to describe items so that they can be readily identified.   (Don’t wind me up here… please)     A principle of parsimony should apply.   This could mean that the labels, such as of colors, may not be the most technically accurate if such accuracy only complicates identification of patches.     My eyes see something like “copper” as an accurate, but confusing description, possibly more reflective of how I see things than actual color. Keeping that in mind, the easy answer for the border color on this issue is “red brown”, RBR.

Eswau Huppeday 560 Allowelendam Chapter R3?

Jimmy Arthurs also recently sent word of two patches from Eswau Huppeday’s Allowelendam chapter that were not yet on this site.   Once again, thanks to him for his help.

The first of these, issued in 2008,   is similar in design to the patch previously listed as “R1?” except for some changes in color.     The most easily described change is the change in border color from brown to turquoise.     The second patch was issued for the chapter’s 2009 Allowelendam Corp (sic).

The listing data for these issues are as follows:

Eswau Huppeday lodge recently issued their 2010 Spring Fellowship and Elangomat patches.   They continue their custom of yearly themes for their events and special issue pieces with a rather “wet” theme this year.   Thanks to Jimmy Arthurs for these images.

Since it is neither tied to nor names a particular event the Elangomat patch is listed within the body of lodge issues.     The Spring Fellowship patch takes its place within the lodge events issues.     Listing data for these are as follows:

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.

Northern Michigan / Wisconsin Merger

I missed this one amidst all the recent mergers. Jeff Gruenke just announced on Patch-l that Awase and Ag-Im lodges have merged to form Kon Wapos lodge. There was no news about what number, if any, the lodge might use. Their totem will be the snow shoe hare.

There is no word yet on any patches for Kon Wapos lodge. Read the Full Post

BSA and OA Adopt New Membership Policy

Last winter the BSA announced that it was considering a change in its membership policies that would allow chartering organizations the freedom to decide whether or not it would allow gay males to join as either youth members or adult leaders. Currently such people are officially disallowed from becoming members of the BSA. After much feedback, it was decided to delay a decision on this important membership change until the BSA's annual meeting in May. However, I have since received word from reliable sources within the BSA that a decision has been made, although the final legal details have yet to be completely worked out.

An acquaintance of mine, Eli Tillbush from Florida, was able to fill me in on some of the details. All are pending approval of the BSA Executive Board and may also still face legal hurdles on both the state and federal levels. Effective 4/1/15 the BSA will divide itself into two separate but equal organizations. One, to be known as the Boy Scouts of America, will maintain the current membership policy. The other organization, tentatively named the National Equality Scouting Association, will openly admit boys and adult leaders regardless of sexuality. This organization will prohibit discrimination based upon sexual preference.

Kanwa tho Lodge

Kanwa tho 636 S1?

Kanwa tho lodge, 636, formed from the recent merger of Mascoutens 8 and Mikano 231 has issued their first flap. One thousand of these charter member flaps were produced. The flaps were first sold at the lodge's Winter banquet and are currently restricted to one per person. Approximately 350 people were at the banquet but not all were brothers.

The lodge's totem is a panther. There has been some disagreement over the correct spelling of the lodge name. At present the lodge has said the name is spelled "Kanwa tho", no hyphen and a lower case "t" to start the second word. The name on the flap is considered a misspelling. The number used by this lodge is the same as their council, Three Harbors Council.

Thanks to Dan Gille for the image and information about this lodge.

Technical Issues: Update

I think I have most of the issues resolved. Warning: Tech speak follows!

I found another one while trying to fix the problems. If my email was downloading properly it would have been spotted sooner. One of the drives for the server was not properly mounted after the maintenance my "colloc" folks did. That meant that users saw a lot of dead links for a few thousand of the more recent images on the site. That is resolved now.

When I was still thinking the email issue was on my end, one solution was to delete and reinstall my email account in Thunderbird. I was then unable to reinstall it (turns out because the issue was on my server). That meant all the saved OAImages mail I had was deleted! OOPS! Well, not really. ..

Server Technical Issues

I just became aware that there appear to be some technical issues with the site's server. Due to the Christmas season and time away from the computer, I didn't spot them sooner.

It appears that mail sent to me since around mid-day on12/20 has not been received. I do not know if outbound mail -- specifically the automated messages the server sends when someone signs up to the members' area -- has been sent properly. There is reason to believe it hasn't been.

I am unable to ftp into the site. Connections are being refused, making it difficult for me to change much of anything on my own.

I have opened a ticket with my server's host and will update here when I know more. Please be patient. Read the Full Post

Bulk Patch Deal

Are you looking for a stocking stuffer for a patch collector out there? Do you just want to pick up some more trading stock? I have a deal for you.

I always find myself with an accumulation of flaps that don't quite ever get into my collection. They're nice patches and "get along well with others" but I never seem to find the time to put them properly with the rest of my stuff. The accumulation keeps growing. This is an opportunity for you. For a limited time (until I run out), I am offering a ten (10) flap bulk deal for $39.99, postpaid. That's just under $4 per flap and include postage.

All the flaps will be different, no duplicates. All will be mint, no ratty or sewn, or laundered flaps. All will be real lodge issues with no spoofs in the bunch. These include standard issues as well as special (eg. NOAC, Jamboree, anniversary) issues. Payment via PayPal (to jpannell@triad.rr.com) is preferred. The flaps will be mailed out within a day of receiving payment, helping you receive these in time for holiday gift-giving.

If you have any further questions, please email me at jpannell@triad.rr.com. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from many of you soon! Read the Full Post
