Issue comments: The S6/S7 was issued to conform to the new National
standard for patches, thus it was the first issue with a
FDL (fleur-de-lis) or BSA on the patch.
The design was taken from the 310X1 neckerchief and was
meant to match the Council Shoulder Patch in border,
colors, and general theme. The CSP features a view of the
Tennessee River (see the Tennessee Valley Council home
page for an example). The S6/S7 features an Indian
extracting the meat from a mussel shell (the lodge Totem)
along the backs of the Tennessee River.
A hatpin was made from the CSP and another from the S6/S7
flap. They are valued by lodge Arrowmen when found as a
set. The S6 or S7 with the Council CSP are considered a
set.
The S6 and S7 are not usually differentiated by
traders.
