Here are another pair of items from Tom Wadnola. This time from the 1960 Area 2-D Conclave. As you can see, this was the 10th Annual Conclave held by Area 2-D.

The OA Section list has the composition of Area 2-D at that time as:

• Sisilija #19
• Half Moon #28
• Wakpominee #48
• Mahikan #181
• Mohawk #267
• Ta-Oun-Ya-Wat-Ha #268
• Loon #364
• Onteroraus #402 (to 2-H before 1961)
• Nick Stoner #418
• Nooteeming #443

Can anyone confirm if Onteroraus Lodge #402 was still part of Area 2-D for the 1960 Conclave? Or were they already in Area 2-H?

There was also a neckerchief issued for the event.

To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three men, two of whom are absent.

Tom Wadnola has provided another pair of images, these are for the 1964 Area 2-A conclave.

The first is the pocket patch:

• Skanondo #64
• Horicon #246
• Shinnecock #360
• Buckskin #412
• Nooteeming #443
• Munsi #444

I had previously posted on the 1956 First Area 2-H Conclave and pictured the neckerchief issued for the event. Tom Wadnola sends along a scan of the patch issued for the conclave which was not pictured in the original post.

I’ll add this image to the original post as well, so there is a complete listing of all issues from that conclave in the one post.

I’m not sure I want popular opinion on my side — I’ve noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.

Another pair of images from Tom Wadnola, this time for the 2003 Section NE-3B Conclave.  This conclave was held at Camp Russell and hosted by Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34.  The theme was “Feel the Fire.”

More after the jump.

Last week I posted on patches from the 1998 Section NE-5B Conclave and asked if anything else was issued form this event.  Paul Cox sent along a picture of the neckerchief for the event.

Anyone have one of these available for trade?

Tom Wadnola has set along a disc full of scans of NYS OA Area and Section Conclaves. Here is a neckerchief from the 1972 Area 2-H Conclave hosted by Otahnagon Lodge #172.

Does anyone know if there was a pocket patch or any other issue from this conclave?  Or have an extra of this neckerchief  to trade?

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

I had previously posted on the 1971 Area 2-H Conclave. George Jennings left a comment about a different type of memorabilia than we normally see issued for a conclave. He sent along the image and his previous comments.

We also had a special first day cover made for the conference. We utilized the local post office and used two 4 cent BSA stamps which were made in 1960. This was done under the direction of Bernie Chonin, a wonderful scouter who has since gone home to the Lord.

As you can see by the cover, the conference was held September 10 to 12, 1971.

Matt Crance sends along a pair of patches form the 1998 Section NE-5B Conclave. I believe based on the Turtle-shaped patches, that Ganeodiyo Lodge #417 was the host. Can anyone confirm?

The pocket patch with loop is depicted below:

Randall Bull provides an image from the 1997 Section NE-3A Conclave.  The conclave was hosted by Tkaen DoD Lodge #30 at Camp Groton.

At the time Section NE-3A was composed of the following lodges:

• TKäen DoD #30
• Ty-Ohni #95
• Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee #159
• Ashokwahta #339
• Ganeodiyo #417

I also understand that there was a neckerchief issued with the patch sewn on.

This is the final item currently in my collection from Area 2-H. Thia conclave was held at Beech Mountain Scout Camp and hosted by Skanondo Lodge #64.

First up is the conclave neckerchief.

More after the jump.
