The first two undated patches were issued in the early 1990s. The roach and war club design was used on many Northeast Region OA patches from 1987–1998. In 1999, this was replaced with a second primary design featuring the compass from the new Northeast Region logo superimposed on an arrowhead; this second design has not appeared on a general-purpose patch.

Beginning in 2003, a third design appeared featuring a stylized eagle with a city skyline between its wings; a version with a silver mylar border was distributed by the Region Chief that year.

The first Standard Section patches used the same general design as those issued in the Southeast Region (and by Section SE-1) during the late 1970s. The Northeast Region began issuing these patches a few years after adding a handful of lodges that were formerly in SE-1.

I do not know why there were two different designs used in 2004.

This event, usually held in November, is a training weekend for all Section Officers in the region. The event has been running for many years but there were no patches issued prior to 1996.

My needs are highlighted in the issue column above. Offers will be enthusiastically welcomed.
