Lodge

The council is served by the Order of the Arrow Lodge: OA lodge: Toontuk Lodge #549

Toontuk Lodge was founded in 1961. The lodge is named after the barrenland caribou, which is known to the Gwich'in Athabascans as Toontuk. Toontuk Lodge has been recognized with the National Service Grant in 1997, where the money was used to rehabilitate the waterfront at Lost Lake with sand and a lifeguard tower. In 2006, Toontuk Lodge celebrated its 45th anniversary. Among its projects that year, the Lodge gave the Council a large amphitheater sited on Lost Lake at Lost Lake Camp.
