Kiskakon Lodge #75 was chartered June 5, 1935 with the Anthony Wayne Area Council, headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  The lodge was first known as the Miami tribe of the National tribe, WWW, Order of the Arrow.  Two years later, Kiskakon was adopted as the new name of the lodge.  Kiskakon was the name of the chief town of the Miami Indians and was located near the confluence of the three rivers that go through Fort Wayne.  The totem chosen at that time was the “bear”.The original charter consisted of 14 members from the Anthony Wayne Area Council staff, Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Garrett, Bryant, and Portland, Indiana. By the end of 1935, 38 new members were in-ducted into the lodge. One of the first major undertakings of the lodge under the leadership of the first Lodge Chief, Tharrell Davis was to establish and maintain a Service and Information booth at the 1936 Merit Badge Island, which was opened in 1935.

In 1938, Kiskakon Lodge was instrumental in organizing a new lodge for the Pioneer Trails Council.  The new lodge established was Papakitchie Lodge #142.  The first Vigil Honr member of Kiskakon Lodge was John McKay, who served as chairman of the AWAC’s camp committee.  In his application for the Vigil Honor, one of the questions asked what his camp record is.  The response was simply stated:  “Built an Entire New Camp for the Council”.  This was Camp Big Island and John received his Vigil Honor in 1940.

The lodge continued to grow through the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s and when the AWAC opened their new council camp, the Anthony Wayne Scout Reservation in 1968, the lodge developed campsites, trails, and the waterfront.

In 1972 Papakitchie Lodge #142 was merged with Kiskakon Lodge #75 and Jim Molebash, the last lodge chief for Papakitchie Lodge and current Field Director for AWAC stated that Papakitchie Lodge came home to the place where it was organized.  This is the only known merger to have happened with Kiskakon Lodge.

Kiskakon Lodge has hosted several state conclaves at their council camps and continues the mission to this day of the Order of the Arrow.
