DOCUMENTING THE ISSUES OF BLACK EAGLE LODGE # 482 
PART 10 
This part is the first of two parts to document the patches issued by 
the Chapters over the years, generally, but not always, for a one-time 
chapter activity. They range from an Ordeal, a Costume Workshop, a Dance 
Fest, a Fellowship, a ceremonial team, to participation in an OA 
activity at a Camporee, and others. The frequency of issue within a 
Chapter depended in large part upon the interest and activity of the 
Chapter Chief and Chapter Advisor. Some Chapters rarely issued a patch, 
while others seemed to go into the patch business with several issues 
within a couple of years.. 
Most, but not all, dates of issue for the Chapter patches are known. I 
will cover all known patches by each Chapter in alphabetical order, just 
as with the Chapter patches in Part 9. When I first started documenting 
these issues, about 1980, I assigned an ?M? number (for Miscellaneous 
Lodge and Chapter Activity), as I became aware of them, hence the ?M? 
numbers are not necessarily in the sequence of issue. The Blue Book 
expanded its listing in its Third Edition dated 2000, to include Chapter 
issues as well as Lodge issues. Prior to its publication, I was asked to 
verify their listing of our Chapter patches, and the Blue Book 
identification numbers are included for each patch as well (some BB 
numbers use the term Unk, as a result of not contacting me for more 
detailed information prior to publication). I have chosen to address the 
items in the order in which they were issued, within each Chapter. There 
are also a few patches incorrectly identified in the Blue Book (not by 
me) as being from Black Eagle Lodge Chapters, and these are NOT 
included. My measurements included here may vary from the Blue Book by 1 
or 2 mm. 
As with other patches, the location of the activity and if not 
specified, the quantity of patches produced is unknown. 
ACHWON WOAPALANNE CHAPTER (BAVARIA DISTRICT): 
The first known Chapter patch was issued in 1982, when 100 white twill 
patches (M52 [BB #eR1982]) were issued to the OA staff of the District 
Polar Bear Campout. 
It is approximately (since I don?t have one) 80mm in 
diameter, with a dark blue or black border and black lettering. 
The next issue was 200 colorful fully embroidered 79x91mm patches (M37 
[BB #eX1988]) for the 1988 Fall Fellowship.
 This patch featured a peace pipe and large arrowhead 
In 1989, the first of two Chapter patches that would mate with the large ?star? jacket patch (C25 [BB #J1]) was issued.
 200 fully embroidered, 
88x101mm triangular, but 4-sided, patches (M38 [BB #eX1989]) were produced for the Spring Ordeal. It featured the Black Eagle. 

Also in 1989, the Chapter conducted a Costume Workshop in Munich. A 
total of only 36 square 77x78mm fully embroidered patches (M40 [BB 
#eX19xx-2]) were produced. 

Late in 1989, a Chapter Training Course was held in conjunction with a 
District Training Conference in Colmberg. 200 copies of the gray twill, 
modified oval patch (M53 [BB #eX19xx-1]) were produced. 
It featured a mountain village scene in the center. 
In 1990, a total of three patches were produced in conjunction with the 
10th anniversary of the Bayern High Adventure Camp. 200 copies of the 
second of the 4-sided triangular patches (M39 [BB #X5]) to mate with the 
?star? jacket patch were issued to commemorate the Camp Bayern 
Rededication and 75 years of the OA. It featured a turtle representing 
Unami Lodge 1. 

Two sizes of the fully embroidered, ten-sided patch 
celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Camp were issued. Of the smaller 
92x102mm size, 300 were made (M48 [BB #eXUnk-3]).
 Only 135 of the larger 
157x170mm version (M49 [BB #eJUnk-4]) were made.
 One of the main 
features was a Black Eagle holding an olive branch. 
Three years later, in 1993, the Bayern High Adventure Camp hosted its 
final season. Two special fully embroidered patches were issued. They 
are identical except for a small gold scroll with ?STAFF? in blue 
letters. The 110x134mm patch is triangular with 7 eagle feathers 
suspended from each long side. The issue quantity of both is unknown. 
The participant version is (M67a [BB #eX1993a])
 and the staff version is 
(M67b [BB #eX1993b]). 

ALPINE CHAPTER (ALPINE DISTRICT) and AMANGI WACHTSCHU CHAPTER (ALPINE 
DISTRICT and SWITZERLAND): 
I am uncertain just where and when the break was made, if there ever was 
one. So, I have chosen to include all issues under this one Chapter(or 
maybe two). 
In 1983, the first patch (M5 [BB #eX1983]) for a Fellowship held at the 
Kandersteg International Scout Chalet in Switzerland, a brightly colored 
78x103mm fully embroidered version picturing the alps, was issued. 

Another Alpine Fellowship was held at Kandersteg in 1984 and a 77x104mm 
fully embroidered patch (M6 [BB #eX1984]) featuring a Chalet was issued. 

In 1986, the Amangi Wachtschu Chapter held a Fellowship at Kandersteg. 
For the design of the patch for this event, a 77x104mm Orange twill 
design (M42 [BB #eX1986]) was issued. 

The Alpine Chapter again held its Fellowship in 1987 at Kandersteg, and 
issued a blue twill 67x116mm patch (M36 [BB #eX1987]) with a large arrow 
superimposed over mountains. 

In 1988, Amamgi Wachtschu Chapter was back at Kandersteg for a Spring 
Fellowship. This 77x104mm patch (M43 [BB #eX1988]) was fully embroidered 
and featured an Indian with upraised arms and mountains in the 
background. 

A 102x132mm oval winter scene with chalet and alps was featured on the 
1989 fully embroidered Chapter Fellowship patch (M34 [BB #eX1989]). It 
again was held at Kandersteg. 

In 1990 the Fellowship at Kandersteg issued a 102mm diameter fully 
embroidered patch (M35 [BB #eR1990]) which featured the same chalet that 
was featured on the 1984 patch. 

The last patch (M57 [BB #eX1991]) issued by the chapter (as of Nov 2000) 
was for the 1991 Fellowship again at Kandersteg. I was a 90x122mm oval 
fully embroidered which featured the main chalet at Kandersteg. 

HIGH PLAINS CHAPTER (IBERIA-MOROCCO DISTRICT): 
The first patch (M69 [BB #eR1972]) from High Plains Chapter was a 1972 
76mm diameter yellow twill which featured a large arrowhead. About 30 
were issued, we think for an Ordeal at summer camp at Rota, Spain. 

In 1977, the Chapter conducted a Spring Pow Wow someplace in Spain and 
issued its fully embroidered black 76x89mm arrowhead patch (M22 [BB 
#eA1977-1]) with a large 77 in the center. 

The Fall Fellowship in 1977 produced about 50 blue twill 79x105mm 
patches (M22 [BB #eX1977-2]) featuring a pair of clasped hands. 

In 1981, Zaragosa Air Base hosted a Dance Fest and issued a green twill 
77mm diameter patch (M16 [BB #eRUnk])featuring an eagle dancer. 

LOWANEU ALLANQUE CHAPTER (NORTH STAR DISTRICT): 
This Chapter issued an 85x104mm blue twill patch (M56 [BB #eX1985]) for 
its 1985 Spring Ordeal, featuring a large arrow in the center and 
stylistic North Star.
