====Tahosa Lodge====
Tahosa Lodge #383, chartered in 1948, serves 1218 [[Order of the Arrow|Arrowmen]] as of 2004. It is the largest lodge in Colorado. The lodge totem is a [[Pika|coney]] ([[Pika]]), and the name translates to "Dwellers on the Mountain Tops" in the [[Kiowa]] language. The lodge is divided into seven chapters which correspond with the seven districts of the Denver Area Council. Tahosa Lodge holds their ordeal weekends and other events at the two council camps, Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch and Tahosa Scout Camp. Many patches from the lodge feature a character known as the Purple Bishop, and delegates of the lodge to [[National Order of the Arrow Conference|NOAC]] can often be seen wearing purple cloaks. The Purple Bishop is a legend from Camp Tahosa.
