National flaps are different from regular lodge flaps in that they are worn by arrowmen from lodges all across the country. Issued by the National Executive Secretary of the National Committee of the Order of the Arrow, these flaps are only worn by an individual while serving in the capacity indicated by the flap and have traditionally been restricted to two per person. National flaps have been issued for members of the National Committee, and the OA Service Corps for the 1977, 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997, and 2001 National Jamborees.
At the 1993 National Jamboree, I was in Staff Troop #3260 of the OA Service Corps. We were broken down into four troops, plus support staff and key members of the National Committee. It's my guess that there were only 125 of us total, not including Youth Services staff. Initially, we could purchase two service corps flaps, and were also issued the really cool armband (only one each). During the Jamboree, we were given the option to purchase a third flap. All of the extras were distributed to the rest of Youth Services.
