The first two odd-shapes (X1 and x2) were issued as part of the Lodge’s 1989 50th Anniversary celebration. The event patches for this year (1989 Spring Conclave, 1989 Fall
Fellowship, and 1990 Winter Banquet) combined to form the numeral “50”. The oval shaped patches were intended to fit in the center of the “0” in the “50”. The X2 was awarded to members of the Lodge who accumulated enough points during the year based on attending different events (national and lodge), attending ceremonies and meetings, or working hours at Camp Naish. The X1 was available for purchase through the Camp Naish trading post as part of a set that included the three event patches (E17, E18, E19).
Three additional odd-shaped patches are the Vigil honor participant patches. Specific criteria have been established for Vigil honor members to earn this patch which is typically sewn to the member’s Vigil vest. Initially given out at the 1995 Vigil Banquet, a total of 733 of these patches had been awarded through the 2008 Vigil Banquet. A special version of this patch, with a gold mylar border, was issued for the 2005 50th Anniversary of the first Vigil ceremony for the Lodge. One hundred of these were made; of the total 92 were awarded, one was placed in the Tamegonit Lodge collection, and the remaining were destroyed. A BSA Centennial version was also made in 2010. That year, 200 patches were made; of the total 96 were awarded, one was placed in the Tamegonit Lodge collection at the Great House, and the remaining were destroyed.
Similar to the J4, the X8 was used to join all of the 2007 event patches together (E73, E74, E75, E76). This is an octagonal shaped patch which can be surrounded by chevron-shaped event patches.
