In the beginning, between the years of 19, an honorary camping society was formed for outstanding campers in the Yosemite Area Council. The totem of the Lodge is appropriately Lynx. The Lodge's name, "Toloma," comes from the Mi-Wuk meaning Lynx. Traditions of both Lodges are melding to form the traditions of the new Toloma Lodge 64. This momentous occasion was celebrated by the current Chiefs from the two Lodges each carried a flaming torch from their own Lodge's fire and together used them to kindle the flame that will burn in the Council fire of the new Toloma Lodge for many years to come.
