Scout Patch Collectors

Belive this is concedered a Trader Bill…. I have one with a generic lodge with a barcode from noac 1994

This is not one of the Trader Bill flaps. I believe it dates from the 80’s and showed up at one of the NOACs. It is a pure spoof and not attributable to any youth from any lodge.

Now that is one ugly patch!

The Generic Lodge Flap was produced for the 1983 Section 5-B Section Conclave held at either Camp Stigwandish or Camp Tuscazoar in Ohio. It was either a Stigwandish Lodge or Sipp-o Lodge produced item and was for sale during the Conclave. It was a popular item for trading at the 1983 NOAC at Rutgers University and made the slide show at the close of the NOAC.

It is, in fact, a Stigwandish 114 F1 issue. It was produced specifically for the 1983 NOAC at Rutgers. It was suggested by Camp Ranger, Earl Hensel and designed by the Lodge Executive Committee when I was the Lodge Chief. During the NOAC, lodge members were able to trade one of these for as many as five other flaps. The original order had white paper backing. A second run was produced with a plastic backing. Two machines were used to make the first order…one used s black backstitch and one used a blue backstitch.
