Issue comments: The S3 was issued during the 25th anniversary of
Kaskanampo Lodge, the same year Kaskanampo served as the
Area V-E Conference host at Camp Jackson. The S3 was
first sold at a lodge activity held on Redstone Arsenal
(Saturn rocket development center), and then at the
Conference. It was a very popular flap with the other
lodges in the Section that included much of Tennessee.
The S3 and "Pig" patch (the name given to the Conference
patch of that year) were considered a set, and both were
manufactured by Midwest. The S3 sold out during the
Conference, but some surfaced in 1973 and were sold and
traded at the 1973 National Order of the Arrow Conference
in Santa Barbara, California. Kaskanampo Lodge #310 was
moved from V-E to SE-4A in 1973, so the S3 was the last
patch issued by Kaskanampo in it's old Tennessee section.
The S3 was also the last issue for many years that had the
correct mussel shell (the lodge Totem) on the patch. The
S3 is greatly valued by the members of the lodge due to
tradition, and is easily the toughest Kaskanampo #310
patch to collect.
Errata: This flap is mistakenly called the S4 in Arapaho.
