Special Edition Order of the Arrow Jamboree Patches

Trader  patch set (blue border)  includes lodge flap
and pocket patch.

Wenasa Quenhotan #23 is offering a two special edition 2013 National Scout Jamboree Lodge Flap/Patch Sets for just $5.00 per set (includes flap and pocket patch). Both are pictured here. The set with the gold border is for participants who are OA members to wear on their class A uniform; the one with the blue border is a “trader” patch set.

The patches depict three rivers flowing into one, symbolizing the formation of WQ23 40 years ago from three different lodges, and the WWW of cheerful service and brotherhood. The three rivers flow into one, representing the excitement and adventure of the New River Gorge at The Summit in West Virginia. The river is spanned by the New River Gorge Bridge, and the silhouettes of Scouts in action represent just some of the activities at the National Jamboree.

Both patch sets are being ordered in limited quantities, so place your order now to receive your patches before Jamboree. Get some extras for trading with OA brothers from all over the country!
