Wipala Wiki
75 years of Cheerful Service
In 1950, the Wipala Wiki Lodge was organized to recognize those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law, promote camping, develop leaders, and crystallize the habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of cheerful service. In the last 75 years, thousands of scouts and scouters have been recognized and grown as leaders in the brotherhood of cheerful service.
We are very excited to be celebrating Wipala Wiki Lodge’s 75th Anniversary. Throughout this year, we are celebrating the spirit of the Order of the Arrow, Cheerful Service. The year is full of opportunities for our members to connect with other scouts throughout Arizona, help support our camp properties through service days, and help host various council events for both scouts and cubs. As a thank you for all these contributions to Scouting, we have a special 75th Anniversary commemorative gift for members who have participated in at least four (4) activities.
Please see the 75th Anniversary Recognition Award form for a listing of the activities. You must complete at least one (1) Lodge Event and three (3) more activities of your choice. When you have participated in four activities, please complete the attached pdf form, scan and email to Membership@WipalaWiki.org
