2010 Jamboree: First JSP?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I just saw what I believe is the first JSP issued for the 2010 National Jamboree.

The disturbing thing is its been around since 2007! I’ve heard two different stories about this Connecticut Rivers Council JSP, the first being it was to promote the National Jamboree, the second being it was used to raise funds for the National Jamboree. I’m leaning towards the promotion story, anyone know for sure?

Either way I have now set up automatic searches to keep tabs on any 2010 National Jamboree Shoulder Patches that hit eBay or appear in Google searches. Our goal is to compile a list of all 2010 National Jamboree Shoulder Patches (JSPs) as a reference for the hobby. If you know of a 2010 JSP that has been issued that is not on our list please let us know and if possible include a original full size scan.

OAImages.com Technical Issues

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

John over at http://www.oaimages.com is having some technical issues with his server that has taken his site, The Internet Guide to Order of the Arrow Insignia, off line for the time being.

There is a status page available at http://www.oaimages.com for those who wish to stay up to date on the progress of the site. The last update was posted on 2/19/2008 at 7pm: “File uploads are in progress. This will continue well into tomorrow, or longer. Right now there’s not much to see, but you can track my progress at http://12.47.45.91.”

When we heard of John’s difficulties on Patch-L, we offered him use of some server space to host his update page, but he was able to place it on his home server. We wish him the best of luck, as technical issues are never fun.

UPDATE:  The OAImages Blog is back up and John is uploading all the site files.  The normal domain is now featuring a status page.
