====Mic-O-Say Lodge====
Mic-O-Say Lodge #541, chartered in 1959, serves 168 Arrowmen as of 2004. The lodge totem is an [[eagle]]. Prior to 1960 there was not an Order of the Arrow Lodge (OA) serving Western Colorado Council (WC-C).  The Council honor camping organization had previously been the [[Tribe of Mic-O-Say]] (MOS)  (also existing in some Councils in Kansas and Missouri) which had been founded by H. Roe Bartle.  However, with the arrival of a new WC-C Scout Executive, a decision was made to discontinue MOS and replace it with an OA lodge which was officially recognized by the BSA.  As a compromise, the lodge was allowed to retain the name "Mic-O-Say" and to continue some of the MOS insignia and traditions.  The traditional MOS Eagle Claws were permitted to be worn by youth and adult members suspended from a French braid spiral lanyard in the tribal official red, white and blue craftstrip colors.
