236 Un A Li’yi
In the midst of the great war, forty three candidates went through their ordeal at Camp Ho-Non-Wah along the shores of Bohicket Creek. It was May of 1943. The newly formed Unali’yi Lodge #236 is a member of Coastal Carolina Council based in Charleston, South Carolina. Unali’yi is a dream fulfilled for the new scout executive Chief J. Rucker Newbery, a close friend of our founder, Dr. E. Urner Goodman. In 1952, Unali’yi Lodge hosted our second fellowship with all lodges in Area 6-B attending. Chief Newbery named the event “The Dixie Fellowship”. Through the years lodges have come and gone, and area numbers have changed but the Dixie has remained a constant. In 1977, when Unali’yi hosted the twenty fifth anniversary of the Dixie Fellowship, we came full circle, as our brothers were joined at Camp Ho-Non-Wah by both Chief Newbery and Dr. Goodman, one of their last events together. Today, Unali’yi Lodge is stronger than ever, with more than one hundred new ordeal members joining our brotherhood during 2013.
