MY ESSELEN LODGE PATCH COLLECTION

	California Traders Association (CTA) Camp Linblad near Boulder Creek   HISTORY OF ESSELEN LODGE AND PATCH COLLECTING A large number of patch collectors from all over California attended the 1969 Area 12-D Conclave held at Soquel High School hosted by Esselen Lodge.  Jeff Doane was the Area 12-D Chief.  The patch collectors got together and decided to form the California Traders Association (CTA) and produce a newsletter on patch issues and list events for patch trading. Rich Lewis of Sacramento was selected as the first CTA President. In the fall of 1969 Esselen invited members of the CTA to attend the first Esselen Lodge Fall Fellowship held at Harber High School in Santa Cruz. For our first Fall Fellowship Esselen did not issue a Fellowship patch. At the Esselen Fall Fellowship the members of the CTA decided to sponsor gatherings of patch collectors and call it a "Trade-o-ree". At that time I was selected to be the second President of the CTA. In the Fall of 1970 the first Trade-o-ree was held at Camp Lindblad near Boulder Creek and the first Trade-o-ree patch was issued that I designed. Camp Lindblad was also the location used for our first Esselen Ordeal in 1957 to form the Lodge. At the time Esselen Lodge was formed it was called Camp Redwood. Because the CTA had members in Utah, Arizona and Hawaii I suggested a name change to the Region 12 Traders Association (RTTA). In 1972 the 12 Regions merged to form 6 Regions with Regions 11 and 12 becoming the Western Region. I had suggested another name change to the Western Traders Association (WTA). Shortly after the name was changed to WTA another trading club was formed called the Southern California Association of Traders (SCAT). In the mid 1980's WTA and SCAT merged to become the American Scouting Traders Association (ASTA). Today it is now the International Scouting Collectors Association (ISCA) with over 1,500 members. It all started at the Area 12-D Conclave hosted by Esselen Lodge in 1969. JIM BOWLES, 1970 President California Traders Association (CTA) and 1967-1979 Esselen Lodge Adviser
