EspañolTANNU LODGE 346
'Tannu Lodge 346' is the Order of the Arrow Lodge for the Nevada Area Council in the Boy Scouts of America. It is headquartered in Reno, Nevada and spans from eastern California to Elko, Nevada.
In 1946 the Nevada Area Council, Boy Scouts of America chartered the Wiyaka Lodge, Order of the Arrow, to replace the Tribe of Nacopen as the council's Honor Camper Society. "Wiyaka", the Sioux word for feather, was chosen by camp director Larry Lake and was used as the Lodge name until 1961. In 1961, after a rather stagnant period, the lodge underwent a period of restructuring, and a new name and totem were deemed in order. The Pronghorn Antelope was chosen as the new totem and "Tannu", the Shoshone-Paiute word for antelope or deer became the new lodge name.
During the 1960's the lodge grew in membership, and, as one of the larger Lodges in the old Area 12-C, we hosted the Area 12-C Conference at Galena Creek. As the Lodge prospered, its ability to fulfill its mission in promoting Scout camping grew as well. In 1972 the Lodge earned the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award for excellence in promotion of its camping program. During the mid-1970's the lodge experienced another downswing in membership and activity but rebounded under new leadership toward the end of the decade.
In 1974 the Lodge hosted the W3B Conclave at Sky Tavern. In 1982 it received the E. Urner Goodman Award for the second time, a feat considered quite rare. In 1986 Tannu Lodge hosted the Section W3B Conclave at Stead, Nevada. In 1996, it hosted the Section W3B Conclave at Naval Air Station Fallon and celebrated its 50th anniversary.
In 2005, Ross Armstrong from Tannu Lodge served as Western Region Chief for the Order of the Arrow. He received the Distinguished Service Award the the 2006 National Order of the Arrow Conference.
Tannu Lodge is a part of Section W-3B, the best section, which spans from Eureka down to Bakersfield, California.
