A-tsa Lodge # 380 was active in the Grayback Council headquartered in Redlands, CA.
A predecessor Lodge called Ho-Mita-Koda existed from 1948-1952 before disbanding.
Unfortunately, at this time there is no information on this group, though a chapter
named Ho-Mita-Koda did exist.
One of the Lodge's primary duties was serving and staffing Camp Tulakes, located
near the present Camp Tahquitz in Barton Flats.
Among its accomplishments, A-tsa Lodge had the honor of being the service Lodge for
the first Section W4B Conclave which was held at Redlands High School. A year later,
A-tsa was a part of Cahuilla Lodge. National OA records indicate the merger occurred
in 1976, not 1974, and in time there will be an explanation for this discrepancy.
