Final Update - The gentleman that collected, and has, the totems has reached out to many, and I've sent PM's to those I could. If you posted on a specific Totem and didn't get a response, please reach out to Steve Namola C: (330) 883-3060

Please be specific about the totem you saw in our Totem album. If you don't see it in the Album, he doesn't have it. Please don't call or ask if he has a Totem you didn't see.

He will make arrangements. He is primarily looking to reunite Troops with their totem, but many of the Troops are no longer around.

-------

Update: I will be sharing the details with the gentleman that currently holds the collection. He will let me know if it’s a totem he is willing to part with, and we will make arrangements with him. Please be patient with me as I help facilitate this. Responses will be slow from me, but I will work in order of first come, first serve comment.

To help, please comment on the photo of the totem you are referencing to help us expedite the process.

We shared a post with a ton of Camp Totems from Chickagami a few weeks back.

If you were a member of a Troop, and would like your totem. Or if there is a totem in there that would mean something to you, please post on the photo or message us.

The gentleman that collected these can no longer store them all. Now is your time to save an old Troop Totem.

He is not willing to part with general camp signs at this time.

We have until the end of November before they will unfortunately be lost forever.

Just an FYI, we keep deleting whatever spam bot is trying to sell T-Shirts on our page.

If you see these before we delete them, please don’t click the link. It’s not us.

Also, sorry if you’re being spammed by these bots. We will be looking into ways to prevent them if we can.

A recent find by an alumni - the original architectural drawings for Espan Lodge at Camp Chickagami.

Espan lodge would begin construction in late 1984, being designed by Warren, Oh Architect William “Bill” Marton. This building would take on a new architectural form, breaking away from the traditional building style most scout camps would use.

Espan Lodge would be built by Tapawingo Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, purposed to serve as the base of operations of the OA at Camp Chickagami, with the ribbon cutting taking place at the Section Conclave hosted by Tapawingo in 1985.

The lodge would be opened in memory of William E. Brown, a longtime scouter of the area, first scoutmaster of Troop 101 in Warren, and longtime mentor to the chair of the Lodge Building Committee Jim Potjunas.

This building still stands today, one of few original structures still standing from the camp which is now Chickagami Park.

Be on the lookout for some better scans and see other cool finds on Chickagami.net!

Currently this is on display at the Stambaugh Museum. It used to be in the Chickagami Dining Hall. Anyone have good information we can put with it for the website?

Thanks in advance!
