Notes

According to the Blue Heron Lodge History, “This same year [1961], the Lodge rallied to the Area’s call again. With six weeks to the annual III-C Pow Wow, the host lodge was forced to withdraw. Blue Heron was asked to handle the situation. In short weeks and thousands of dedicated hours from our membership, Blue Heron Lodge put together one of the Area’s best Pow Wows at our Camp Pipsico.”

Former Governor Colgate Darden attended the event, which included celebration of the 50th anniversary of Tidewater Council and the 15th anniversary of the founding of Blue Heron Lodge.
