Shu Shu Gah Lodge #24 Display

Bill — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 15:48:07 +0000

To borrow a phrase, here is a bit of “egoboo” and a tease of my display of Shu Shu Gah Lodge #24 at the recent Ten Mile River Alumni Luncheon for the 98th Anniversary of Ten Mile River Scout Camps.

Nischa Nimat Lodge #181 What’sit

Nischa Nimat Lodge #181 is one of the predecessor lodges of Kittan Lodge #364. They had a number of event patches associated with the lodge, but no other “Freeze Outs”. I recently picked up the Whatsit show below, without any provenance.
Can anyone identify this as a #181 issue or otherwise provide an identification?

I crossposted this on FB yesterday too.

“We are, heart and soul, friends to the freedom of the press. It is however, the prostituted companion of liberty, and somehow or other, we know not how, its efficient auxiliary. It follows the substance like its shade; but while a man walks erect, he may observe that his shadow is almost always in the dirt. It corrupts, it deceives, it inflames.”
—Fisher Ames (1807)

“The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position.”
—George Washington (1796)
