We recently offered up on eBay the neckerchief listed in Blue Book as their N1. See below:

This generated several pieces of information, specifically:

• This was from the Eastern Shore Chapter of Stigwandish lodge. The Chapter covered Ashtabula County Ohio.
• Chagrin Valley Chapter issued a neckerchief before Eastern Shore did. This is an official lodge issue, but more properly is the N2 (or some other designation for a chapter piece?) As I am sure you know, many people confuse various camp neckerchiefs as lodge issues.

As many of you know, the BSA has created a web site to educate the public about litigation against the BSA to counteract misinfomration about the BSA and its membership policies. The web site is

Click image to go to the site.. This is the official Boy Scout web site for news, information, education, and answers to questions about the legal challenges confronting Scouting today.The site went live 2/3/04 and has been a resounding success. The site gives the BSA a way to educate key audiences from the media to Scout familes about the legal challenges confronting the movement. It does so by providing fact sheets, legal filings, news clips and even online video. The BSA is trying to make it another weapon against the disinformation campaigns of others.

One can register for updates at the site. The Scouts wil provide registrants news updates on a regular basis.
