At the Allegheny Highlands Council TOR last weekend, I came across a new variant of the pocket patch issued for the Section NE-3A 2010 Conclave. The 2010 Section NE-3A Conclave was held at Camp Russell and hosted by Ga Hon Ga Lodge #34. The theme was Arrow Wars 2010.

This patch has a SMY border. While the scanner washes it out a bit it is definitely SMY and not the previously known white border.

Can anyone confirm the use of the different border colors?

I’ll update the original post for the Section NE-3A 2010 Conclave with the information.

“When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen; and we shall most sincerely rejoice with you in the happy hour when the establishment of American Liberty, upon the most firm and solid foundations shall enable us to return to our Private Stations in the bosom of a free, peacefully and happy Country.” —George Washington (1775)

I only recently updated the issues for the Section NE-3A 2016 Conclave. Now I have another to add, this one has a yellow border. The 2016 Section NE-3A Conclave was held at Camp Woodland and hosted by Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219

I believe this to be the host lodge issue, but can anyone confirm?

I had heard that a Staff Neckerchief for the Section NE-3A 1974 Conclave existed, but had never seen one. The Section NE-3A 1974 Conclave, was one of the first conclave postings I made back in early 2008.

Recently, I obtained an image of the Staff neckerchief.

“I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial. But I beg to know upon what principle it can be contended that any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers than another in marking out the limits of the powers of the several departments.” —James Madison (1789)

Each NOAC going back a couple of decades, Section NE-3A and its predecessors have issued a set of flaps including one for each member lodge. Currently members of each lodge could order individual flaps from their home lodge and sets of the 5 lodges which make up the section. So their are different numbers made of each flap. For NOAC 2018, each flap shares a common design with the individual lodge name and a different border color for each flap.

Ashokwahta Lodge #339 has an red border.

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.” –John Adams, Dissertation on Canon and Feudal Law, 1765

My original post form the 1980 Section NE-3A Conclave showed a pocket patch and a neckerchief. Since than I have acquired two other neckerchiefs issued for the event.

The first one shown below would seem to be the main conclave neckerchief which pictures the design of the pocket patch.

and the pocket patch:

I had previously had the neckerchief shown below:

and another recent acquisition:

The red section appears to be a canvas like material which was added unto a yellow cloth neckerchief. Bob Fenty had advised that a number of these were made on a excess of district camporee neckerchiefs.

Should these last 2 neckerchiefs be more properly listed a Ktemaque Lodge issues? Can anyone confirm if they were only used/available to the host Lodge?
