Wahunsenakah Lodge 2010 Conclave flap design

Lodge Advisor George Homewood kindly shared this design for the Wahunsenakah flap to be issued for the upcoming 2010 SR-7A Conclave.

Tutelo Lodge 161 will host the Conclave on April 23-25 at Blue Ridge Mountains Council Scout Reservation in Pulaski County, Virginia. The theme for the 2010 Conclave is "Heart of the Fire."

First Wahunsenakah Flaps of 2010

The BSA celebrates its 100th Anniversary on February 9th and the first flaps from Wahunsenakah Lodge in 2010 are themed to recognize this special event. Three campfires with the numerals "100" across a black background are central to the minimalist designs of these recruiting issues, available only to Scouts and Scouters who recruit a new boy or girl to Cubs, Boy Scouts, or Venturing. Only adults can earn the adult version of the flap with a silver mylar border, and only youth can earn the youth version with a gold mylar border.

The Lodge name is ghosted under the campfires, although no Lodge number is evident in the design. A ghosted black FDL is in the upper right corner and The words Achtchinkhalan Ehalluchsit are ghosted in black across the top and bottom of the flap, which reportedly translates to Supreme Chief of the Fire Recruiter.

Wahunsenakah 2009 Holiday Banquet patch

Larry Johnson sent me a picture of the newest Lodge 333 activity patch, issued at their Holiday Banquet on December 5. The design mirrors the four prior activity patches this year with the exception of a Christmas wreath added to the front of the tower. This minor change from the original design adds a festive, colorful touch.

The final Kecoughtan Lodge chenille emblem

Although Standard Pennant Company of Big Run, PA  was the manufacturer for the first 3 Kecoughtan chenille emblems, Krelman Company of Pueblo, CO was selected by the Lodge to create the final chenille patch which was patterned after the Lodge's first green arrowhead patch from the early 50's.

Jeff Godby reports that this patch was produced in 1996 and says:

The C-4 was sort of my idea as well.  I liked how Blue Heron made a chenille using their A-1 design and mentioned that we should do the same thing.  Don't know why they came from a different manufacturer, but it was probably because it was cheaper.

Since Kecoughtan officially merged with Chanco to form Wahunsenakah Lodge at the beginning of 1996, the C-4 chenille was issued in the twilight of the Lodge's existence, and represents a fitting tribute to the original arrowhead patch design from the earliest years of Kecoughtan Lodge.
