Assorted & Misellaneous
None of the patches below are medical staff patches. They have a significant medical theme. As such I have included them in my collection. They include Order of the Arrow flaps, council shoulder patches, and Jamboree items.
At the National Order of the Arrow Conferences, Founder's Day is where many lodges set up booths with giveaways usually related to their lodge or state. At the 2002 NOAC, Occoneechee Lodge #104 from North Carolina had an emergency services theme relating to 9/11/2001. There are three various emergency service flaps with one chevron to go under all three. This is the ambulance flap. |
Eswau Huppeday Lodge #560 from North Carolina has issued a lot of lodge flaps for the annual dixie conclave, often with popular culture themes. The one from 2005 is clearly based off the movie and TV show MASH. James Flatt, MD, is a urologist in Alabama. He is also very active in Scouting in general and the Order of the Arrow in particular. In 2009 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Award, the highest award the Order of the Arrow can issue. His lodge commemorated this honor with this flap. These flaps were issued for the 2010 Section SR-9 conclave by Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge #129 from Atlanta, Georgia. The theme for the lodge for this conclave was the TV show House. The lettering at the top is similar to the TV show font, and the cane and cadeuceus are intertwined to remind you of the misanthropic doctor. The silver border was the trader, and the gold border was the contingent flap. |
This is part of the same SR7B 2012 conclave as the flap above. This is the yellow border ambulance issue. The red border was earned by working at one of the work days. The yellow border was earned by working at three work days. See http://blog.oaimages.net/2012/04/26/lodge-70-2012-conclave-issues/ |
For the 2020 NOAC, Takachsin lodge #173 is issuing three sets honoring first responders. There is one for police, and there is one for fire. This is the one for EMS. I believe the flap is the same for all three and only the chevron is different. I am not certain if delegates will have a different border than the fundraiser patch. |
Since at least 2006 Buffalo Trail Council has issued a council strip for its distinguished citizen. In 2007 that citizen was Midland, TX orthopedist Charles Younger, MD. For the 2005 National Jamboree the Baltimore Area Council created a set of JSPs with the theme "Baltimore in Action". This one shows a pre-hospital setting. |
In 2005 the BSA named the National Jamboree subcamps for various explorers, and this included people of various professions, including physicians. Subcamp 5 was named for Michael Manyak, MD, who is a urologist and whose biography includes serving as medical officer on an Antarctic expedition. See here and here. |
In 2005 the BSA named the National Jamboree subcamps for various explorers, and this included people of various professions, including physicians. Subcamp 18 was named for William Forgey, MD who is a family physician who has written many books on travel and wilderness medicine. See here and here. Alamo Area Council used military facilities as the theme for their 2005 National Jamboree shoulder patches. This particular one was at a military medical center. This patch was issued for the Woodbadge course in the Baltimore Area Council in 2010. The course director was a physician which is why there is a caduceus on the patch. There is one with two beads (on the moose) for participants, and one with four beads for the course director. This was the staff council strip. |
