A year ago we were discussing Neckerchief slides, in particular one from Adirondack Lodge Lodge #357 with a scan from Ray Gould.

I have just come across a couple of slides from Ranachqua Lodge, which I’ll be posting on over the next few days.

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.

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

The first is the pocket patch:

According to the OA Section List, the following lodges were part of Area 2A in 1964:

• Mide #15
• 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.

I had previously posted on the William Hillcourt Scout Museum and Carson Buck Memorial Library expansion. They have now added a web page to publicize the museum, provide information on current happenings, directions and hours of operation. If your in the Central New York Area, it’s worth checking out.

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.

Brian Petrowski sends along a bit of interesting information on the Buckskin Lodge #412 N0.5 neckerchief.  He advises that:

Since our lodge neckerchiefs are 1 per life these were made up for the contingent going to the 1960 Jamboree to have neckerchiefs to trade.

While unrestricted, since it was only issued for this single event and Buckskin was a large lodge, this one is probably tougher than the 1per life N1 and N2 neckerchiefs.   You can see a sample of the neckerchief below.

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?
