Sakuwit Lodge #2
by Todd Bletcher
Sakuwit Lodge 2 is a very young lodge carrying on the traditions of a very old lodge. In 1999, Sanhican Lodge #2 and Narraticong Lodge #9 merged producing a new OA lodge boasting over 700 members. An all youth merger committee unanimously selected Sakuwit as a new name and adopted the Raccoon as a totem. On September 2, 1999, new lodge bylaws were authorized and a new lodge was created. The name is significant because the Central New Jersey Council, BSA is located between and along the Rartian and Delaware Rivers in central New Jersey. Our Lodge totem, the raccoon, is a fitting symbol of our New Jersey camping traditions. Our Lodge number, 2, stands as a reminder to us all of the rich traditions of the Order in our area, and being the 2nd oldest lodge in the country. In 1999, we celebrated our 80th anniversary.
