Woapalanne Chapter F2; First Known Cavalcade OA Flap contingent patch for Woapalanne Chapter’s annual Philmont trip in the winter or summer. In addition, this 7 color OA Flap (2” by 5”)“ghosts” the “Kanik” in the red of the flag of the State of Texas. During January 1994, OA members flew into Amarillo Airport, drove rented cars to Philmont and participated in the “Kanik”program. During the summer of 1994, a contingent of Scouts and Scouters from Longhorn Council took part in the Cavalcade “horse trek” through the mountain trails of Philmont and in the 1994 NOAC event. Woapalanne Chapter supported Scouts in all 3 programs through fund raisers. In all, OA members and Scouts from 3 OA Chapters participated. One you gotta have … the 94 NOAC, Philmont Kanik and the First known Cavalcade contingent …. A NOAC and Philmont collectible …. twice the value and three times the collectible wrapped up into one patch.

OA Lodge Flaps identify which lodge a scout or scouter is a member. Normally, there is one lodge per council. Also, Lodges are divided into Chapters that are local to a given area within the lodge.

The Order of the Arrow’s purpose is to:

  • Recognize those who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and that recognition cause others to conduct themselves in the same way
  • Promote camping, responsible outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship.
  • Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance Scouting, and our nation.
  • Solidify the Scout law point, helpful in their life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.
