As readers will remember, I was honored by my Order of the Arrow lodge earlier this year. It was a very fun experience and one whose impact will not likely go forgotten over the years.
It used to be that the Vigil honor was accompanied by a pin, a little triangle device with three arrows pointing along the perimeter. My Dad has one; very cool. I want one, too. So off to eBay we go. Sure enough, there are two. One with the arrows pointing clockwise and one pointing counter-clockwise. Can't seem to find any information on which is correct, so I bid on and lose both. The clockwise one has come back as a second bid option. Since then, there have been two others, also clockwise.
I hope to end up with one or the other, but I'll forever be curious; what's up with counter-clockwise?
Readers, (if there are any), do you know anything about this?
[11/19/2007 Update: Check out this research page for more on this issue. Clockwise is correct; counter-clockwise is incorrect.]
