Gonlix Lodge #34
Order of the Arrow Madison County Council
Merger History, Flaps, Patches, and Neckerchiefs
Gonlix Lodge of the Order of the Arrow (OA) was my home lodge. I was inducted into the OA in 1967. Due to many Boy Scout council mergers, Gonlix Lodge doesn't exist today, nor do some of the merged lodges that followed. The lodge merger history is below. Note the oldest lodges (Gonlix and Ona Yote Kaonaga were the first two lodges to merge) are indented the most. Ga-Hon-Ga is the current OA Lodge.
