Order of the Arrow patch history in Central Illinois

Potawatomie Lodge 63 was with the Corn Belt Council, headquartered in Bloomington, IL.  The lodge existed from 1940 until 1973 when it merged with Kashapiwigamak Lodge 191 and Nee-Schoock Lodge 143 to form Wenasa Quenhotan Lodge 23.  Thanks to Ken Villiger for providing his collection of Lodge 63 patches.

Wenasa Quenhotan Lodge came into existence November 11, 1973.  Forty years of event history is captured in the three books below.  This does not include pocket flaps, back patches, or patches issued for National Conference participants.  Again, thanks to Ken Villiger for sharing his collection!

Cache Lake Camp patches

Cache Lake Camp was initiated by Corn Belt Council volunteers.  The camp in Voyageur National Park, northern Minnesota, later gave way to a new camp on an unnamed bay in Canada.  That bay was later named Bach Bay in honor of J.N. Bach, who gave tirelessly to seeing that Scouts could experience an adventure in the northern wilderness.  This patch collection covers a 50 year history.  Thanks to Ken Villiger for putting together this collection.
