Yesterday I wrote a post about the participant&#8217;s set. But did you know there is one more option available for the Naguonabe Lodge members who will be participating in this year&#8217;s National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC)? Yes there is!<\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed in the previous posts that the original pocket flap patch and the pocket patch did not &#8220;flow&#8221; together in their design. Do not\u00a0get me wrong, I like both patches. But I thought it would have been nice for the two patches to &#8220;share&#8221; a continuous design like the patch sets of the last few years. Maybe it is just me being an old fuddy duddy. I think\u00a0the\u00a0reason for the design was to allow all lodge members to buy a pocket flap patch to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Order of the Arrow. I understand this. I think they did a great job designing the patch and I am glad to have it as a part of my collection.<\/p>\n<p>The picture above shows the recent third option of this year&#8217;s patch set. Yes, there is a final option in which the patches &#8220;flow&#8221; together into one continuous design. The wolf&#8217;s ears and\u00a0forehead can now be seen. I like it! I also like the bright color scheme chosen for this year&#8217;s set. I am willing to bet this will\u00a0be a popular set traded at this year&#8217;s event. Yes, this set is a trading set. Note the dark gray border. No, I do not have any patches to trade since I am not attending the conference.<\/p>\n<p>So, you have seen the three options of the 2015 NOAC patches for the members of the Naguonabe Lodge of the Central Minnesota Council. Which set do you like best?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You were given a preview of\u00a0the trader&#8217;s two patch set in May.
