Special Edition Order of the Arrow Jamboree Patch Sets

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.

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

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!

To order: Email your name, home unit number, Jamboree unit number, phone number, email and quantity of each patch design to Dan Gray at rundanrun220@gmail.com.

Oh Boy! New Mandatory Paperwork for Everyone!

A new piece of paperwork had been handed down to us from National:  "The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve 2013 National Scout Jamboree Medical Consent Acknowledgement Consolidated Form." Whew! Luck for you, a copy is attached so you don't have to ask for it. You should review this form carefully, fill in your name and a parent or guardian to sign where indicated. Then bring this form with you when you visit either the Peoria or Bloomington office to pick up your Jamboree gear after June 15. 

We MUST get this form from everyone before we leave, both Scouts and adult leaders, and turn them in during the check-in process at The Summit.
