\"OAornotOA\"A couple of month back, I wrote about an non-OA issue which could be easily mistaken for an OA issue.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 John Pannell posted last October his thoughts on What is an OA Issue<\/a>? His criteria included:<\/p>\n

# There is documented evidence of what lodge or chapter issued the item in question.
\n# There is text on the patch that reasonably point to it being an Order of the Arrow item.
\n# Verifiable testimony from someone active in the lodge or chapter at the time the purported item was issued.
\n# There are design elements used that reasonably point to it being an Order of the Arrow item.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So here is the patch in question, a jacket patch.<\/p>\n

\"Half
Half Moon Lodge #28 or Camp Tri-Mount Jacket Patch?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So following John’s points.<\/p>\n

1. There is no documentation that this is a lodge issue.<\/p>\n

2. The text “Gather the Clan” is frequently used on OA issues.\u00c2\u00a0 As a matter of fact, it was the theme for the 2009 Section NE-7B Conclave hosted by Half Moon Lodge and held at Camp Tri-Mount.
\nBelow is the conclave patch.<\/p>\n

\"Section
Section NE-7B 2009 Pocket Patch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4. Design elements used that reasonably point to it being an Order of the Arrow item, check – Native American with OA Sash who looks like he is wearing eyeglasses.<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0 Verifiable testimony from someone active in the lodge or chapter – ZZZZZ <\/strong>Testimony confirmed that this is not an OA issue but is merely a Camp Tri-Mount issue.<\/p>\n

So while I hate to clutter up the Blue Book with non-OA issues, should this be listed with the notation \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not an OA Issue\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to avoid someone thinking that they \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdiscovered\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 a previosuly unlisted OA issue 10 or 20 years from now?<\/p>\n
