S1 Flap


Blue Book: S1

Description: This flap was the first fully embroidered issue for Lodge 413. It was issued to coincide with the transition from our old camp at Hardy, Arkansas (Old Cedar Valley), to our new camp at Viola, Arkansas (Pine Trail Reservation). The colors were apparently keyed to the Explorer uniform of period. The design did not translate as well as had been hoped and as a result, the patch proved not to be very popular. A new design was then sought and the decision was made to issue three flaps (Ordeal / Brotherhood / Vigil) in 1968. The issue is sometimes referred to within the lodge as the "Odd-Green" or "Off-Green" issue due to the darker Green border. This is a less common flap from lodge 413.


Period of Issue:   Mid 1967 to 1968
Restrictions:       None
Quantity Issued: Apx 300
Characteristics:   Vertically stitched Green hills; Vertically stitched Gray areas above the arrow and horizontally below; "Loose" look to embroidery; cloth back; 52x124mm.
