In 1938 Arrowmen of Bobwhite Lodge 87 in Augusta, GA helped charter Tsali Lodge 134 of Daniel Boone Council in Asheville, NC. The Lodge was named after the Cherokee Chief Tsali who sacrificed his own life so those of his people could remain in the Appalachian Mountains. The lodge totem is that of the “bow”. Within the bow are two letters of the Cherokee alphabet, which spell out Tsali’s name.
For many years the lodge flap pictured the lodge’s totem and five Cherokee Indians that represent Tsali, Tsali’s Brother, the Cherokee chief Utsala, and Tsali’s two sons. Though these are not the current issue, the design was in use for several years and many lodge members will still have them on their scout uniforms.
