Teetonkah OA Lodge #206
was chartered on August 4, 1941 to the Land-O-Lakes Council
and replaced the Tribe
of Keokuk at that time. Teetonkah means "Big
Lodge" according to a 1921 news clipping. The council
was based in Jackson, Michigan and the lodge was based at
Camp Tee-tonk-ah, one of America's three oldest scout camps.
Camp Teetonkah was created in 1913, as was Treasure Island.
Only Chicago Council's Camp Owasippe in Whitehall, Michigan
(1911) is older. The founder of the lodge is believed to
have been A.J. Junker who was their council executive at the
time. The first lodge flap was issued around 1956. Prior to
this, the lodge had issued two patches. The original patch
was the Kachina Doll which was issued in early 1950 and was
an odd shaped patch. There were 48 Kachina Doll patches made
with about seven known to still exist. The cost was about 22
cents a piece. The Kachina Doll appears on Lodge 206 flaps
in later years. The original is one of the rarest of all OA
patches.
