The Sac-N-Fox Lodge #108 arose out of the merger
of the Wakosha Lodge #108 based in Waterloo, IA and the Aiaouez Lodge #473 based
in Mason City, IA. The name was chosen to pay tribute to the Indian tribes
that once inhabited the area.
The merger of the two lodges was discussed at a
mutual Father-son Aiaouez and Wakosha Lodge Winter Banquet on December 19, 1971,
and the merger took place at the time when the two respective councils merged in
1972. The 1971 Lodge Chief of the Aiaouez Lodge was Louis Schuler, and the
1971 Lodge Chief of the Wakosha lodge was Kirk Doan. Greg Bell from the
Aiaouez Lodge was elected the first Lodge Chief of the Sac-N-Fox
Lodge.
The Sac-N-Fox Lodge flap was designed by Gary
Stattler, The fleur-de-lis symbolizes our ties to the Boy Scouts of America and
the W.W.W. shows our ties to the Order of the Arrow. The council fire in
the center of the patch is our lodge's totem, and the two Indians in the patch
are exchanging the peace pipe, the symbol of our council. The thunderbird
and the fox head in the patch depict the totems of the Wakosha and Aiaouez
Lodges.
