FREE: Vintage Leatherette Meckcha Federation Honor Tribe Patch ~ YMCA / Y-Guides

The listing, Vintage Leatherette Meckcha Federation Honor Tribe Patch ~ YMCA / Y-Guides has ended.

Up for bid is a Meckcha Federation Honor Tribe patch. Measures 3”. Patch is leatherette, and in new condition. I got it in a lot of Boy Scout items won at auction.

But it is not actually a Boy Scout item. Rather YMCA – Y-Guides seems to be a scout-like organization, only more fashioned after Native Americans.

It was hard to find information on this patch. The information I did find was very interesting, as I had never heard of them. They are very spiritual and community-minded. I think the tribes are like Cub Scout dens or Boy Scout units.

The coveted Honor Tribe Patch is awarded to tribes who exhibit excellence throughout the year. To qualify for Honor Tribe, each tribe must complete the following:

• Perform a Community Service Project (10 Points)
• Sponsor or Co-Sponsor a Nation Event (10 Points)
• A Tribe Representative must be present for 8 out of 10 Longhouse Meetings (10 Points)
• The Chief or Assistant Chief must submit the Honor Tribe Form to the Nation Drumbeater before the cut-off date of each quarter (10 Points)
• Be awarded an additional 60+ Points of optional tasks

Very interesting item! Smoke-free, as usual. Shipped first class mail.
