Tamegonit Lodge’s pie-shaped issues (P1 and P2) are intended to be sewn to a neckerchief, much like the arrowhead issues from the Lodge. The lodge-approved directions for assembling a neckerchief are shown below:
In looking at the final line of the directions, it appears that they were printed in August of 1976 (8/76), but the use of the white neckerchief dates back to the arrowhead neckerchiefs of the 1950s.
Here’s the typical result using the directions:

In my experience, the pie-shaped issues are most frequently found off of a neckerchief. This could be due to the effort and skill set required to assemble a neckerchief. However, there were certainly several kind mothers who did accomplish this feat, resulting in a wide range of materials, ribbon color and texture variation. Given the variety of materials and construction techniques, the assembled neckerchief can resemble a piece of folk art and is a truly unique addition to a collection.
Shown below is the 1999 Fall Fellowship patch, which I’ve called P3. This patch was created to celebrate the 60thAnniversary of Tamegonit Lodge. At first glance it would appear to be a P issue. In reality it is an event issue, but is included in this book for reference. To celebrate the lodge’s 60th Anniversary, the author created a neckerchief following the 1974 instructions for the older P1 and P2 patches.
