Welcome to the official Mishigami Lodge 29 website.  Our lodge proudly serves the members and communities of the Michigan Crossroads Council and covers most of Michigan’s upper & lower peninsula.

Mishigami Lodge was founded January 1, 2021, with the reorganization of the four Michigan Crossroads Field Service Councils.  The traditions of a brotherhood of cheerful service in the historical Order of the Arrow lodges in Michigan date back to 1927, and those ideals are alive in the members of Mishigami Lodge today. In January 2025, we added our fellow Arrowmen from the Upper Peninsula, transfering from Bay Lakes Council.

The greatest source of strength in Mishigami Lodge is our members, we strongly encourage you to get involved. If you would like to get more involved, contact a member of the lodge leadership.

  • Lodge Award Nominations
    by Connor Todd

    Mishigami Lodge,

    Each year our Lodge hand out awards to Arrowmen who have gone above and beyond the call of Cheerful Service. The awards are handed out during the Lodge’s Winter Banquet, which this year is on January 4th in Dewitt, Michigan.

    We recognize Arrowmen with three different Awards: the Mastodon Award, the Silver Tusk Award, and the Founder’s Award.

    Information about each of these awards, including a description and list of past recipients, can be found on the Lodge website, mishigami.org/awards.

    To see the past Mishigami Silver Tusk recipients click here. To see the past Mishigami Mastodon recipients click here. To see the past Mishigami First Year Arrowman recipients click here.

    And finally, any youth Arrowman who are interested in applying for the Lodge OA High Adventure scholarship may complete this form. This is a competitive scholarship, so it is necessary to complete the form for the committee to choose the 5 scholarship recipients.

    The nominations for awards are open from now until Halloween October 31st, so please start nominating any Arrowman you think are deserving of these awards. If you have any questions regarding Lodge awards, you can get more information by emailing awards@mishigami.org or reaching out to your Area Chief or the Area Adviser. Additionally, if you’d like to be a part of the Awards Selection Committee, please email your Area Chief and Area Adviser, we need representation from all areas.

    Thank you for helping us recognize the outstanding Arrowmen in our Lodge.
