		<description><![CDATA[

Developed by Michael Bungo of Great Trail Council, the 2001 and 2005 JSP web sites were pioneers in collecting and presenting pictures and information about jamboree shoulder patches.  Sadly, [...]]]></description>

The Blue Book: Order of the Arrow Standard Insignia Catalog was first published in 1996, and for over a decade has been the primary reference for OA collectors.

		<description><![CDATA[
John Pannell is avidly tracking the Lodge emblems being issued for the upcoming 2009 National Order of the Arrow Conference on a special web page at oaimages.com, so I&#8217;ve revised the link that previously pointed to the 2006 NOAC patches to point to the new page.

		<title>New CSP site on the horizon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bill Mulrenin beat me to this scoop with his blog post last October, but it bears repeating because our trading world can certainly use a comprehensive web site devoted specifically to Council Shoulder Patches (aka CSP&#8217;s).
The URL http://cspcorner.org started showing up in my referral statistics, and since it wasn&#8217;t an address I was familiar with [...]]]></description>
